Evolution is a soft merino yarn with unique striping. When worked from the center, the stripes of this single-ply yarn are subtle and have a gradient effect, but become more rapid and colorful as you knit. This yarn is next to the skin soft and perfect for shawls, scarves, cowls and other accessories. We made the Multnomah Shawl using one skein of Color 1 (Denim Floral). The pattern is available free with purchase - just ask for it at checkout!

United StatesI bought it in order to get the Multamorah pattern which is otherwise unavailable. I don't like the 1 ply yarn. The colors as shown on the computer came true in real life. Am working on getting gauge since the pattern suggests using a fine yarn, size 3 needles, to get 24 st to 4 inches. Size 3 needles definitely doesn't work with this yarn, and I am a loose knitter. Swatching on size 5 now but will also try size 6 as recommended on the yarn sleeve. It will be fun to see the color moves through the pattern.
