Art Yarn Types – Braided Yarn

I am super excited about this new art yarn I made. This is how my braided art yarn looks like.

I cut strips of this ikat fabric.

Each of these strips were 1/2 inch wide. I then joined each of these short strips together using the zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine. I used 2 strands of this uneven yarn with one strand of nylon yarn from my yarn stash to make this braided yarn.
