The little spikes every other stitch break up the pooling colors. Also, this stitch makes the swatch flatter and not so bunchy. LOVE the tape!

They often turn muddy. Similarly, we crocheters don't always benefit from self-striping yarns since crochet stitches require a bit more yarn than knitted ones, and the series of loops on top of loops shortens the stripe lengths and can stack oddly. The Tencel Tape, however, looks like little puddles of color, but without a huge mess. I think it looks best in the first 6mm shot. The solid swatch seems on the edge of muddy.
