Dahlia is the perfect cake yarn with beautiful, long color changes. The four strands in Dahlia aren’t spun together, which gives the yarn its unique depth of color.
All color combinations in Dahlia are carefully composed to create the most beautiful look. The gradual color changes almost create a dip dye effect that really stands out in crocheted or knit shawls. However, the yarn is also perfect for other projects such as blankets, scarves, or clothes for children or adults.
Dahlia is made from 100% pure cotton and comes in large 7 oz (200 g) skeins, so you only need approx. one skein for a shawl. The soft cotton makes the yarn perfect for shawls, since cotton has a slight weight to it, which helps shawls drape beautifully when worn.
You can adjust the color transition yourself when working with Dahlia. The yarn was designed with an “easy start” from the middle of the yarn, but you can also give your project a different look by starting from the outside. It will shift the color change so that a yarn that changes from light to dark will instead change from dark to light.
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2076-311). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/
Pro tip: You can make it easier to work with a four-strand yarn by running them through a small bead before using the yarn. That way, all four strands will stay neatly together while you work.

This was my first time working with ombre and with yarn cakes and I am in love! Mostly with yarn cakes.
This yarn was a dream to work with. Pulled through nicely and the gradient was pretty subtle for the lighter bits.
I wish the darker colours blended in as subtly as the lighter colours. I'm hoping blocking might help?
Or maybe if I look at it again later? I'm not sure. First time
That being said, I'm already looking at the other colours because I want more!
I'll share a photo when I'm done :)

Really soft beautiful wool that produces a lovely soft gradient when crocheted. Everyone that saw the 'ziggy' blanket I made with it were thoroughly impressed thinking it was far more high end then effort then it was!
It is made up of 4 individual strands of cotton with only the start and end being solid. All others are variates of 1 Strand X colour 3 strand Y colour to 2 strands of each and then vice versa to produce the gradient.

I was given a cake of this as a present, and saved it to take away for my ‘holiday project’. Perfect for making a shawl from! It’s beautiful, with smooth colour changes, tiny knots on the change over, and there’s so much in a cake!!
It made the most wonderfully huge shawl, which is perfect for summer evenings and when you just need a layer on your shoulders.

I purchased this yarn in the colour way ‘Night Queen’, currently I’m using it to crochet a shawl from a pattern by Fibre Spider. The colour transition looks incredible for virus type knits. I’ll definitely be trying this yarn in other colours, it’s great quality & easy to work with.

I have used this yarn twice now and use a small bead to put the yarn through which ensures you do not “lose or drop” a thread. The yarn Is lovely and has such a beautiful ombré effect I had to buy more for Christmas gifts. I managed to get it on offer so made sure I bought plenty!
