Azalea – Harvest Moon (10)

Azalea is a wonderful cotton blend that consists of four thin strands that stick together without being spun together. This allows for the most amazing color gradients! The combination of cotton and acrylic results in a light and remarkably comfortable yarn that is both breathable and soft. The acrylic adds some elasticity to the yarn, allowing it to keep its shape, and is not as heavy as 100% cotton. Azalea is available in many gorgeous color combinations with an unusual depth to the colors. The large, lovely 200-gram cakes run an impressive 800 meters. The beautiful color variations happen smoothly throughout the entire ball, one thread at a time. This results in a stunning, slow color gradient. It’s up to you, which color you want to start and finish with because you can start from the inside or the outside. Yarn cakes are easy to deal with, even when you’re on the go. You will need one ball of Azalea for a shawl or a scarf, or you can combine several into a summer dress or blouse for a beautiful dip dye effect. Because Azalea is related to many other gorgeous yarns in the shop you can already hunt for inspiration among the patterns for the same yarn type, like Twister. Pro tip: Before you start working the cake, run all 4 treads through a small bead to help the threads stay together throughout the project. NB: We’ve given Azalea a much-needed brush up! Please bear with us while we phase out the old stock and don’t forget to order enough yarn for your entire project first time around.
