Cloud Soft Gradient Ombre Yarn – DK Weight, Cotton-Acrylic Blend (100g / 220m)

Who this yarn is for

Best for: crocheters and knitters who want a soft DK / light-worsted yarn with gradual, built-in colour changes. It works especially well for shawls, wraps, scarves, blankets, cardigans, jumpers, hats, accessories and beginner colourwork.

Not ideal for: projects that require one solid colour, a 100% natural-fibre yarn, or a yarn lighter or heavier than DK.

The yarn

This cloud-soft gradient ombre yarn lets the colour do the work. Made from a 50% cotton and 50% acrylic blend, it has a smooth, plush feel that starts slightly textured on the hook or needles and softens after its first wash. As you knit or crochet, the colour transitions gradually through the shade, creating a natural fade even with simple stitches.

Ten colourways are listed: Ocean, Rose, Meadow, Breeze, Peach, Rainbow Cloud, Petals, Twilight, Garden and Sunset. Availability can vary by colour.
