Kaleidy

Kaleidy reminds me of the crystal-shaped shafts of colour I remember seeing when looking through a kaleidoscope as a child. I have to admit I get the same child-like enjoyment watching the colours of variegated yarns play in the same unpredictable, beautiful way. Designed to showcase variegated yarns with colour repeats of 12-25cm/5-10 inches or more the Kaleidy skirt is quite literally an explosion of colour in a garment! Self-striping, gradient and solid yarns can also be used with great results. Written for sizes 9 months to 14 years and for both DK/8ply and worsted weight/10ply yarns. All you need to do now is pick a colour!
