This colourway naturally fades, so you can get a cool range of intensity of colour, there's also high and low contrast options, so you can really play around with the colours!
The photo of the chunky socks shows how a high contrast skein fades from beginning to end. I used a contrast colour to get the yellow cuffs.
If you like Pleiades Eco, you'll love Hyades, Pleiades' bigger sibling!
Get the cozy, stretchiness that's so fun and soft, now for thicker projects like hats, sweaters, and other garments. It knits up satisfyingly fast, and holds it's shape well. The elastic content and texture helps even out your stitches, so your work always looks smooth and even. Hyades blooms with washing, so you'll see it plump up nicely.
Machine wash cold/cold for best results. Wash separately the first time, do not soak or wet block unless previously washed and rinsed thoroughly. Using a washing machine on cold for the first wash especially is the best way to keep the colours looking bright and fresh, especially with high contrast colours.
