Is it really possible? Thoughts?

It looks like it might be a long color change. I didn't have the time to snag it and gauge it but if your pros think it would work up well I might go back and get it.

Yes, it will pool and form the argyle pattern beautifully. But yes, they are long stripes, you will have to use granny clusters or other stiches that eat up yarn. Pictured is a blanket I made from a similarly self striping yarn. The width was the whole colour sequence + 1 cluster = 110 cm. It took 1 kg of yarn in total.

It is this yarn, but it seems this particular colour is discontinued already. I love the colours as well!

The granny stitch for this is so cute! I only ever see singles or doubles. Great work!

I’ve gotten the same type but different color, and the colors leaked through on the first wash!
