Why the Same Yarn Can Look Completely Different (How to Layer Yarn Colors)

Описание: When you hold yarn together—especially mohair and wool—the final color isn’t always what you expect. Sometimes it softens beautifully, and sometimes it turns muddy or completely different than planned.

In this video, I’m breaking down how layering yarn colors actually works, using swatches to show how base color, contrast, and undertone affect the final fabric. Understanding these interactions makes it much easier to choose yarn combinations confidently and achieve the exact look you’re hoping for.

This is especially helpful when planning sweaters, hats, or any project where multiple strands are held together.

If you’ve ever wondered why the same yarn can produce completely different results, this will help you see exactly why.
