This livejournal thread explains how to make colour changes in variegated yarn line up when worked in crochet. It does need to be a yarn in which the changes repeat regularly.

First you need to do some experimentation. Chain "lots", then find out where the point at which you are in the colours next repeats, and mark it with a slipknot or something. Now work straight until you reach your marker. Count the number of stitches you have done. Now if you make something in the round that is this number of stitches - or a multiple of it - around, you should be able to get the colours to line up nicely.
