Sister Ananse Pollinator Collection: Fingering Weight
Local dyer Naima Bond, aka Sister Ananse, applies what she has learned as an art student to dyeing yarn. The results are phenomenal!
Let Your Imagination Run Wild!
"Zebra" yarn gets its name because it starts out with black and white yarns stranded together giving it the zebra look. The black stays black even after the dye is added. When it is worked up, it is actually a bit more subtle than it appears in the skein.
Used by itself, it is best in a pattern that is primarily stockinette, garter, or eyelets - simple patterns that highlight the beauty of the colors of the yarn. Avoid cables and intricate lace that will be obscured by the colors.
Zebra yarn is also beautiful when striped with a semi-solid or saved for the edge of a shawl.
