The Gradiance Collection The gradiance dyeing technique is exclusive to the Unique Sheep. We have developed a way of dyeing yarn so that as a set of skeins is used, your project will gradually change from one hand painted color to the next. Some sets have a dramatic shift in color, and others have more subtle transition. The gradually transitioned sets will work well to show off more complicated stitch patterns and lacework because each skein is “almost” solid. When working with Gradiance sets it is important to alternate skeins when switching from one successive skein to the next so the color change is almost seamless. There are more tips on how to use Grad yarn and free sock patterns here, but if you would like a detailed explanation of the technique in a project try out one of these:
Grad yarn is sold in sets. A set of 4- 25 gram skeins will work well for a pair of socks and a set of 6- 50 gram skeins will make most shawls and stoles. You can select a color from our selection of named colorways:
You can also choose sets from the 30 step color strip or the 15 step color wheel. Choose the color number with which you want your set to start, and you'll get that color plus the three that follow. For example, if you order #22 on the 30 step strip and you get skeins of 22-25. Order #14 on the 15 step color wheel and you get skeins 14, 15, 1, and 2. 30 Color Step Strip: Click to Enlarge.

We encourage you to use the Gradiance yarns in your own creative ways, but we will continue providing kits using Gradiance colors in scarves, socks, wraps and other projects. We are working on more designs and will add them to the website as soon as they are ready!
