Each colour in Mandala® Ombré gradually blends into the other in both tonal and multi-coloured versions. The printing technique allows for some of the cream yarn base to show through, creating a hand-dyed, artisanal effect. Mandala Ombré is slightly thicker than the original, spun with multiple plies of premium acrylic, which give it the look and feel of merino at a fraction of the cost. 315m (344yds) and 150g (5.3oz). 100% Acrylic. Machine wash & dry. 3 balls/bag. Knitting: 20 sts x 27 r on #7 (4.5mm). Crochet: 14 sc x 20 r on I-9 (5.5mm). Remember to ALWAYS check tension/gauge before beginning your project.
