How can you tell what a certain yarn does?
Is there an easy way to tell if a yarn is self striping, self patterning, tweed like, or just dyed different colors to look nice if the label doesn't specifically say?

Knit a swatch if you have already got the yarn. If not then I guess you need to search for the name and see if someone else has used it.
