These 5 skein colour fade sets are all hand-picked by Beata. They are ideal for any fade/ombré project, especially perfect for sweaters and cardigans like Hedgehog Fibre's Le Pouf sweater or cardigan (both free patterns). This merino and nylon sock yarn gives great stitch definition. The yarn is custom spun exclusively for Hedgehog Fibres.Randomly dyed to prevent striping or pooling, as much as possible, Hedgehog Fibre's yarns create a variegated effect that looks good in plain stockinette or advanced stitch motifs.Hand-dyed in small batches in Cork, Ireland. Dyelots and colours may vary from skein to skein, even within the same dyelot. If you buy more than one, we will do our best to match them up. Please ensure you buy enough to finish your project as future dyelots may vary. Please note, although we take great care in photographing our yarns, colours may vary slightly from monitor to monitor.
