I was in a yarn shop recently and saw a beautiful sleeveless vest pattern which was knitted as a rectangle with armholes. The ends of the rectangle formed the hankerchief drape @ center front. The novelty yarn was narrow, ribbon-like with a sheen and had a single-strand fringe intermittently. Not sure how far apart the fringes were but probably every 18-24 inches as they appeared on the garment at regular intervals but not close together. I've searched through pages of novelty yarn photos and can't find it. Does anyone have information or name of this yarn?

There's a yarn - name forgotten - which actually is several different yarns joined (I don't know if with actual knots or how.) together. It would create that effect. So can a 'Magic Ball', and for a lot less cash!

Can you not ask the ladies at the yarn shop? Someone who works there knit the sample, most likely. I made a similar one of these for my DIL. http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-188623-1.html

I found this and thought it might help if you are making your own 'magic ball' of yarn. http://whipup.net/2013/03/15/how-to-use-up-yarn-leftovers-with-a-magic-ball/

there are so many novelty yarns out there I worked with one that changed every so many inches and was several different kinds of textures.. it was Red Heart Boutique Changes I think... but Red Heart has lots of "Novelty" yarns you may want to look there...
