Joann's rainbow boucle

[gavinsmom]

I bought some today when i stoped in joanns to get a button ... I got three colors blue ... which is obviously rainbow u can tell that it changes colors ... and pink and brown which dont look so rainbow but they say on the package rainbow boucle. My question is has anyone ever used these and do they change colors or no? the pink is a mauvy pink not the baby pink

 

 

thanks in advance for ne help

It's more tonal changes then color changes. If you go to http://www.deneensdesigns.blogspot.com/

 

scroll down, I did the Claudia Bolero in the blue Rainbow boucle (June 11 post).

 

I wouldn't recommend this for sweaters because I had to wind to get the colors to match up when putting it together. However, shawls come out beautifully in this.

Yeah. I've seen the way it chages and I love it. I just dont think the mauve and brow look like they are going to do it even though they are labeled the same.

Deneen, do you sell your patterns? I am in love with the Adina shrug.

Actually, I am a pattern tester for Donna (Ninakate). The Adina was about a size 8 and I did it in Microspun. The pattern has measurement sizing and is very easy and you can use any yarn/hook and make the length longer, etc. Donna sells her pattern on ebay and offers great support and help if you need it (I can help out too). She has several shrug patterns she's selling, I've done two of the four and am going to start the other two.

Here's the link:(she used my picture for her auction)
