Just a shot of the yarn I am using. Not a realistic color rendition, but it shows how the 4 threads vary.

@BlueStateBabe I use that yarn too! Do you use a bead to keep them together?

@redenigma @BlueStateBabe When you use an unplied yarn that transitions (like this one does), it's a good idea to use a 6/0 bead to keep the strands together while you work with it. :D

@kismatt @BlueStateBabe i've made several things with Scheepjes Whirl & never had issues with separating. it's really less splitty than a lot of plied yarns i've worked with

@redenigma @BlueStateBabe I've used It's a Wrap, Hobby Lobby's Wrapsody (disco'd), Wolltraum's My Meoldyy, and Hobbii's Cotton Kings/Sultan, and it's really varied from brand to brand. It's A Wrap needed the guide bead the most, I think.

@kismatt @BlueStateBabe interesting, i've never seen It's a Wrap. neither Michaels or Joanns sells it here (and there's 4 Michaels & 3 Joanns i frequent). i mail order the Scheepjes Whirl from either Webs or Jimmy Bean

@redenigma @BlueStateBabe Oh, and Michael's used to carry it too (it's a wrap), but stopped a few years ago.
