variegated yarn
I want to copy the needlepoint seat on an antique chair. Part of the
background appears to be worked in variegated yarn in shades of brown and bronze. Can anybody tell me if there is such a thing as variegated persian or tapestry yarn? Peggy ( a long-time lurker who has asked for help from this newsgroup several times before and has always rec'd helpful answers ) |

or tapestry yarn? BRBR I don't know if there is variegated yarn, but I have combined two or more threads of crewel yarn of different colors to make a tweed look in np. Boo |

According to my Organised Expressions, Paternayan (sp?) have a variegated
persian yarn in several shades. Maybe you can check on their website, if they have one. Gillian "Jimmie Robinson" wrote in message ... I want to copy the needlepoint seat on an antique chair.

Paternayan definitely comes in some variegated shades. Most of them, IIRC, are subtly variegated. Frequently people will tweed their yarn - combining strands of different color to get a kind of shaded look. Also, Gumnuts yarn comes in variegated, and subtly shaded colors. You'd have to look at the size, it's definitely more expensive than Paternayan, but very, very nice. I believe it's a crewel yarn weight, but you could use multiple strands. Here is the link to the distributor for them in the US, Custom House. http://members.aol.com/CustomHous/gumnut/gumyarns.html Anyone else interested, it's got lots of info on their different yarns, silks, etc. Lovely stuff, IMHO.
