Lime Time is a variegated 8ply acrylic yarn that shifts between lime green and white along the strand. The colour change happens as you knit or crochet, so you get a multi-coloured finish from a single ball without swapping yarns or weaving in extra ends.

It's soft, easy to work and has minimal splitting, which makes it a good pick for beginners and anyone who wants a quick, bright project. Each 100g ball has 189m of yarn.

What to make with it

  • Scarves, cowls and beanies that show off the lime and white colour changes
  • Throw rugs and blankets in garter stitch, moss stitch or granny squares
  • Kids' jumpers, vests and accessories
  • Crochet washcloths, coasters and homewares
  • Bright accents in colourwork, paired with a solid white or grey 8ply

Before you start

Buy enough balls to finish your project, plus one spare. Small colour differences can occur between dye lots, and screen settings and lighting can change how the colours look on your device.

Questions

What does variegated mean?

The yarn is dyed in several colours along its length, here lime green and white, so the colours change on their own as you work.

What needles or hook should I use?

Porta Craft recommends 4mm needles for all its 8ply acrylic yarns. For crochet, a hook around 4 to 5mm is a common starting point for 8ply; adjust to suit your tension.

Is 8ply the same as DK?

Yes. 8ply is the Australian name for double knitting (DK) weight yarn.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, on a warm gentle cycle. Dry it flat in the shade and don't tumble dry.

Browse more 8ply multi colour yarn or 8ply solid colour yarn to pair with it.

Yarn Dye Lots & Colours

When photographing yarn we try our best to represent the colours as accurately as possible, but the shade you see may vary slightly depending on device display settings, lighting conditions and how the yarn fibres reflect light. Small colour differences can also occur between dye lots, so we always recommend buying enough yarn to complete your project, plus a little extra just in case.
