Malabrigo has hand-dyed their popular 100% superwash Merino wool fingering weight yarn in stunning, color changing gradients. Each gradient shifts from light to dark or dark to light (depending on whether you pull from center or outside) with a speckled dyeing technique to help the color blend seamlessly. This yarn is unique to other gradient yarns in that it produces a more dappled color shift. A fun yarn for shawls, hats, cowls, scarves & pullovers.
