Manual Yarn Changer 2

That's a great idea! Sadly, despite using a wide range of search terms, I can't find any clips that resemble the one you use in the video. However, now that the idea is in mind, I will try to create something myself from whatever I can find! Thanks!

You are brilliant! Thank you for sharing!

Hi...I know that people answered you on Ravelry, but for everyone else's reference you can find these on Google or Amazon if you search for "Wire Clip" or "PVC Coated Wire Clip" In the US...you find them at the Dollar Store, The Container Store or many grocery stores or Walmart/Target stores.

Thank you for the inspiration as I have been looking for something to be able to knit multiple colors on my 860. I will have to give it a try. If you are using 4-6 colors you would have 2-3 clips with one color in each loop? Have you used it for more than 2 colors?

Honestly, I have never tried more than 2 colors. But if I were going to attempt it, I would use multiple clips, one color each loop. Frankly, more than 4 colors and it's too confusing for me to do manually and I'd probably regauge the pattern into a standard gauge to use a color changer! :) I do two colors alot, either because I'm blending "hand dyed yarn" to avoid the pooling or because of 2 color tuck or 2 color slip stitch. 2 is very doable. 4? man, you're talking fair isle (and for that, I'm probably doing standard because I don't need something thick enough to keep you warm in the arctic) or double bed Jacquard...eek...that's a huge blanket!
