Im trying to find bulk color shifting materials but don't know what type to get or what size. Any suggestions. Amazon would be the place for me to buy them

Size 10, 5, and 8 can work for bracelets too! 10 is a bit thinner so I knotted looser with the crochet thread and only used five strands of embroidery floss for the other color (it’s the Hamilton pattern on my page). I’ve heard 5 is about the same or a tad thicker than embroidery floss, so 8 might be the closest match. Let me know what you decide; I’m also interested in the Summer Nights yarn!

I just got some summer nights yarn and it’s working pretty well. I love the way it looks and it comes in a huge bundle for not that expensive. I’ve only used it once in a normal pattern, but I’ve seen people use it in alphas just fine. If you look at my profile, I used it to make the bracelet in the most recent photo I posted (it’s a shaped pattern)

ok y'all, I ordered three different yarn, two from Lion Brand (Summer Nights and Ice Cream Big Scoop) and Knit Picks Sock Yarn (fingering weight). I am using the Knit Pick one rn, and its a little thicker than embroidery floss, but its stretchy so when knots are made, they become the same size as embroidery floss. So alphas and normal patterns are easy to make. I haven't done color switches yet, but I will try that next. The yarn is super soft and has nice color payoff and slow, but not too slow of a color gradient change. Will review the other two when they come in. Will also post pictures of the bracelets I make with them too.
