Solution: Multiyarning
I know that there probably is a better name for it, but "multiyarning" just sounds really hip. And how does it work? Basicly, you take two skeins of yarn of your chosen colour and work them simultaneously. You hold and work with two threads of yarn. Here's an example with purple and blue polyester yarn:
It's really very easy. You just work with two threads instead of one. Apart from that tiny detail, you just crochet normally. For example, you start with a chain.
This time blue, green and purple were used to start a magic circle and work in a spiral. The final result is a bit psychodelic, but you can always use less contrastive colours. And one more thing, you can also combine yarn of different thickness and type, e.g. here I combined green fluffy polyester yarn with neon green sleek cotton yarn:
Multiyarning is definitely not a new nor groundbreaking discovery but it certainly is a cheap and easy way to introduce something new to your crocheting projects. You can also multiknit two or three skeins of yarn of the same colour to get greater thickness. Just remember to choose a hook of appropriate size.
So, go crazy and combine all the disgusting colours you can find! Give your friends psychodelic knitwork gifts that they'll be ashamed to show in public places!
Read, enjoy, obey!
