self-striping
Creates own stripes
Self-striping describes yarn that automatically creates stripes when knitted or crocheted, without the crafter needing to change colors.
The yarn is dyed in long, repeating color sequences so that as you work, bands of different colors emerge on their own: I love this self-striping sock yarn—it does all the work for me.
