Many dyeing techniques with pre knit blanks result in speckled and dapled yarns.  In the last livestream of the Sock Blank Special 2, we explored some speckling techniques and using sprinkles to create specks of color on the blanks themselves.  We used a combination of KnitPicks stroll blanks http://shrsl.com/tgai (Affiliate Link) and homemade blanks made from a variety of yarns.  When we unravel these blanks, the final yarns will absolutely have some great speckles, but sometimes these also give some extra beauty to the dyed fabric before it is unraveled.
