Gradient yarn is a type of fiber designed with gradual color transitions that shift smoothly from one shade to another throughout the skein or cake. It is commonly used in knitting and crochet projects to create visually blended patterns without changing yarn manually. Crafters often choose gradient yarn for shawls, scarves, blankets, and garments because it produces continuous color variation across the finished piece. Gradient yarn may feature subtle tonal changes or bold multicolor progressions depending on the dyeing technique and fiber composition.
