Colors are the key to giving your yarn project an elegant touch. The colorful yarn brings life to both knit and crochet projects, whether it’s a simple shawl or a granny square. Semi-solid yarns have a special place among hand-dyed yarns, whether you choose to work with fingering/sock yarn, DK or worsted-weight. Their subtle shades and rich tones highlight each stitch and give your crafts a sophisticated look. Let's cover some gorgeous semi-solid colors and patterns that will enhance your stitches.


Understanding Semi-Solid Yarns


For crafters who prefer color diversity without overlooking patterns,  semi-solid yarns are the ideal option. You get a more uniform combination of tones when compared to variegated yarns, which have strong contrast shades. The semi-solid hues are available in a single color, either dark or light tones, which gives a beautiful and elegant fabric and shows variation in the stitches.


With Symfonie yarns, you get a wide yarn collection, so that you can pick and find the perfect shade and best yarn type for your project.
