This is an incredibly soft and smooth, ecologically sustainable, organic cotton yarn suitable for making garments as well as home accessories. A terrific weaving yarn as well. Enormous 200 gram cakes are a great value!

Always pull carefully from the center of the cake to avoid tangling! You’ll start knitting with the plain white section and reach the color gradient at the end. Plan your project accordingly, or wind with a ball winder if you plan to use the colorful section first.

Gauge: 5.5 stitches per inch on US size 5-6 knitting needles. Weaving sett: 7-8 epi tabby, 9-10 epi twill.

      Thanks for the request, Kate! We really love weaving with gradient yarns as it creates really interesting color interactions even in very simple structures. We’re working on some new projects that feature this – stay tuned! In the meantime here are a couple of projects that show gradient yarns in woven pieces. Please let us know if we can help with a project!
