Description

The shawl in the photos was knitted using two identical yarn cakes (2 x 4-ply, 450m). Work began at one corner, with increases made on one side of every right-side row. After switching to the second yarn cake, decreases were made on the same side of every right-side row.

Discover our high-quality gradient yarn cakes made from a pleasant blended yarn: 50% cotton and 50% acrylic. This composition ensures breathability, durability, and a soft feel – perfect for year-round knitting and crochet projects.

Versatility in ply and length

We offer the yarn cakes in 3-, 4-, or 5-ply strands, depending on the needs and requirements of your project. The yarn lengths vary significantly, e.g., from 250m up to 5,000m per cake, ensuring you find the exact size for your project.

Easy-care & sustainable

Our yarn consists of TVU cone yarn, which is tested for harmful substances. Items made from these cakes are machine washable at 40 °C, ensuring your handmade pieces retain their beauty and shape even after many washes.

Why our yarn cakes are unique

Slow color gradients: Gentle to bold color changes, ideal for shawls, scarves, tops, or accessories, with no jarring blocks of color.

Multiple strands: The individual threads run parallel (not twisted), which results in an even, fluid stitch definition.

Large selection: With around 200 different color variations and various strand thicknesses, you are well-equipped for every project.

Nature & technology combined: Cotton provides breathability, while acrylic adds stability, low weight, and easy maintenance.

Sustainable production: Tested for harmful substances, durable, and easy to care for – for long-lasting handicrafts.
