We offer you two versions:
- the background is knitted with the gradient, the frame is knitted with semisolid (as in the original pattern)
- the background is knitted with semisolids and the frame is knitted with a gradient
You can put together your very own combination of semisolid and gradient yarns. You can find the permanent semisolids to choose here and the gradients here. Please enter the name or number of the colorways you chose into the field above (next to the add to cart button).
Depending on the yarn base, the kits contain different quantities of yarn. For the frame, the pattern calls for 384 meters so in theory a 400m-skein should be enough. But just in case you want to be on the safe side, with yarn bases that have 400m/100g yarn weight, we offer you to choose from kits that contain one or two skeins/balls for the frame.
Here are the exact quantities for each yarn base:

I try to take accurate photos but please keep in mind that monitors vary.
I use professional acid dyes and rinse all the yarns several times but some weak bleeding may occur when washing for the first few times.
