KNITTERS: Depending on the width of the knitted piece, the gradual color changes can result in unusual effects like creating a muted patchwork look or select out lengths of individual colors to use as a palette for your own unique intarsia design. On just about every knitter's list of favorite yarns for knitting.
WEAVERS: As a weaving yarn, you'll love Silk Gardens' subtle variations. It will add interest in either warp or weft. Warning: might be a little delicate as a warp for the novice weaver.
