Crescendo gradient sets
$48.00 CAD
Our Crescendo gradient yarn sets are perfect for creating smooth colour transitions! This bouncy 4-ply superwash merino wool is both soft enough to wear next to the skin, and sturdy enough for socks. Each set contains six 87-yard mini-skeins, and several of the gradient sets are designed to be paired together for a longer 12-skein gradient.
These mini-skeins can be used on their own, or paired with our full-skein Molto Crescendo yarn for larger projects. We've put together some of our favourite combinations with our Crescendo/Molto Crescendo sets.
For more information on working with hand-dyed yarns, please see our FAQs page.
