Looking for a yarn with a beautiful gradual color shift? Making Tracks Lite is a soft and springy yarn that will do just that.

It's a variegated blend of fine Merino, Targhee, and Corriedale wool from flocks in Idaho to western South Dakota. Scoured and combed at Chargeurs, it is hand-dyed, pin-drafted, spun, and finished at a small mill in Vermont.

Proudly 100% American-grown and produced, this yarn is non-superwashed and non-mulesed.

An Important Note

Because of the unique process behind Junction Fiber Mill's yarn, no two skeins are exactly alike... even within the same dye lot! This means that while your yarn will match the colorway you choose, there may be slight variations that reflect the artistry and character of each skein. Think of it as a one-of-a-kind piece of fiber art!

Multiple skeins are shown in each photo to illustrate differences within a single colorway.

Squishy Factor

Tori's

Cat's

This is such a fun option for many patterns that suggest a “Spincycle” gradient yarn. The color change is quite gradual and works really well for a pattern with “chunks” of color like the Frame Your Face cowl that Cat and I did for Rhinebeck last year.

The sport weight yarn is bouncy and has a more rustic hand when knitting but it is so plump and yummy when blocked. There is a serious bloom!

I really enjoyed working with this and loved the finished product.

We are so excited to finally have a gradient yarn to add to our shop. Not only is the yarn lovely, but we couldn't be more thrilled to work with such a special company as Junction Fiber Mill. If you don't know their story, you should definitely look them up.

Back to the yarn! lol! The colors are absolutely lovely. Because of the gradient nature of the yarn, each skein is unique. Seriously... no 2 skeins are the same. Just embrace the unique nature of this yarn and have fun with it. You'll love the beautiful shifts of color it'll create in your knits.

It does change gradually (not a quick shift), so think about that when selecting it for your patterns. I think if you were using it for a small colorwork band in a sock, for example, you wouldn't notice the shift. But if you did the whole sock in it or used it for the colorwork on a sweater, with its larger circumference, you would definitely see the change.

Oh... and the yarn blooms like you wouldn't believe. Very squishy!
