So what do all those terms mean?? Well, anyway you explain it, to me it means just one thing....unattainable!! *sighhhh*
But if you really want to know what it means, you can read about it on this site:

In simple terms it all means the same thing....yarns that have more than one colour. I showed a really beautiful example in my last post, the Wolltraum yarn.
Now since these yarns are unattainable to me (at least for now) I decided to make my own. No I didn't do any dyeing (too much work ;-) ) What I did was, I randomly pieced three different shades of colour together using the magic knot (tutorial below) and rolled it into a ball (no yarn cakes yet ).
How you ask?? Simple, I started making a ball with one color, when I felt the amount would be enough to get a couple of rows, I used the magic knot and joined the next color and then rolled a little, cut and joined the third color..... and so on....
I've started using it to make a much awaited Multiplicity shawl by designer Esther Chandler from http://makemydaycreative.com/2014/07/25/multiplicity-buttoned-shawl/.
So what do you think?? Does it work?
Since the sample piece is still small so the gradient is not so obvious. I'm hoping it'll look even better once it grows. Here's hoping (fingers crossed)!
