Gradient Cake Yarn by Yonkey Monkey is a soft, fluffy yarn that shifts through colors as you work, creating a layered, cake-like effect. It comes as a pack of 2 skeins and is made from 70% cotton, 10% wool and 20% acrylic. The acrylic reduces potential itchiness while keeping the yarn soft and flexible.
The yarn is made for both knitting and crocheting. It can be used for dolls, socks, sweaters, scarves, shawls and blankets. The fibers are treated for added softness and shine, and the yarn is made to be 30%-35% larger. Quality and color are consistent throughout each skein.
