Mandala Gradient is a CYC 4 medium-weight cake yarn in 90% acrylic and 10% nylon, built around a long ombré shift from deep to soft tones. Each 150 g cake runs about 295 yards, and Lion Brand says cakes within a colorway match each other, so multi-cake projects keep the same gradient without splicing. It is machine washable and dryable and feels soft, which suits garments, accessories and home decor. Against variegated rivals, the draw is the controlled, repeatable gradient rather than random color pops.
