These sets of colors are selected to complement one another but to work in larger colorwork projects where smaller quantities of a larger number of colors is needed.
SIX PACKS are collections of 6 skeins of yarn, each 140 yards for a total of 840 yards. Matching semi-solid skeins of the terminal gradient colors are also available to customize the amount yarn to the yardage required. A pair of matching socks will require 2 small unified gradient skeins. Note that one small unified gradient will knit one sock. Options for two sizes of skeins are available - large (470 yards), ideal for larger projects such as shawls and sweater bodies, and small (255 yards), useful for smaller projects such as socks, mittens, and sweater sleeves. Each gradient colorway is comprised of 15 individual colors that gradually transition through the entire colorway. Crax Gradient Shawl is a generously sized shawl worked sideways on the bias, from one tip to the opposite edge.

GRADIENT YARN FREE
I’ve collected a few examples of gradient yarns I’ve come across feel free to add more in the comments! Stroll Gradient takes the soft, washable treat-for-your-feet of our popular Stroll base and adds hand painted color changes that extend the entire length of the skein. What ombre yarns are you loving right now? It’s such a hot trend in knitting, I think we’ll be seeing even more of it this year. Ombre yarns lend themselves to modular projects quite nicely, such as the popular Ojo de Dios shawl from the winter 2014 issue of Interweave Knits. This shawl was knitted in Plymouth Gina. It won’t be available on the website until they have backstock, so call around to shops to find some of this gorgeous yarn. The folks at Freia have been dyeing as fast as they can and the yarn is available in some yarn shops now, with more shipping soon. Check out the Freia website here for more info. Freia’s ombre yarn colors consist of 4 to 5 shades within each ball, and each ball begins and ends with different colors. With 4 balls, you’d have a colorful 60″ scarf version of the wrap. This style of gradient knitting is the easiest option to make and wear since all the colors will have the same undertones and look harmonious together. Working with 21 stitches of the stitch pattern, one ball of Freia Super Bulky resulted in 15″ of fabric. Each gradient colorway is comprised of 15 individual colors that gradually transition through the entire colorway. UNIFIED GRADIENTS dyed on one continuous strand of 80 Superwash Merino/10 Cashmere/10 Nylon) fingering weight yarn. This is a cool reversible stitch that look great in bulky gauges. We dye gradient colorways in various yarn 'put-ups' to accommodate the yarn required for a wide variety of pattern designs. The yarn is intentionally dyed so that colors within a set coordinate.
GRADIENT YARN SERIES
You see there are no repeats! I used the stitch pattern from the Tanawha Wrap in the winter 2015 issue of Interweave Knits, which you can also see below. Color shift yarns are created to be series of colors that work together in a project. Unified gradients are dyed on one continuous strand of 80 Superwash Merino/10 Cashmere/10 Nylon) fingering weight yarn. This swatch represents the color shifts within one whole ball of yarn.
This swatch is 15″ long, worked on size 15 needles over 21 stitches. Below, I’ve knitted a large swatch with Super Bulky. There’s no color pooling with these colorways. One ball of yarn shifts slowly from one color to the next, creating a long watercolor transition that is just gorgeous. Their yarns are variegated, but not like other variegated styles you might be used to. The folks at Freia have mastered the process of dyeing ombre and gradient yarns. This single-ply yarn is 100% wool-wool harvested from sheep in Colorado and then dyed in California. Here’s a fun bulky that I’m really excited about. As I posted last week, I attended the TNNA trade show in Phoenix recently and picked up some great new yarns for 2015.
