Great Gradients--Love this yummy cake
One of our most popular items began as a Yarn In The Box original. Because of the nature of the amount of work that goes into making a “true” gradient, we have never wholesaled this product to any LYS ever. The base of this cake is made from our Frolicking Feet fingering weight yarn. 500 yards gives an ample one-skein project or an awesome project like The Saints Rest New Brunswick Shawl by Allison Barrett of St. John, New Brunswick.

Great Gradients is available in 10 colorways and probably will find 3 or 4 new colorways debuting at some of our summer shows. Check all the colorways out here: https://doneroving.com/product-category/great-gradients/
Let’s talk one skein projects–A favorite because of its garter and lace construction is Jen Lucas’ Yingarna Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yingarna and the elegant Down The Garden Path by Susan Gressman Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/down-the-garden-path-3
If you haven’t knit with a gradient, you just have to try it once. I love to add it to a contrasting colorway and let the gradients be gradual block of tones that add a gradation of color work in between the contrast color. Oh my, the possibilities are endless. We will have to explore more again soon.
