Eos, 50% merino-50% Tussah Silk is hand dyed by The Unique Sheep, creators of the Gradiance dyeing technique. Each shawl set is composed of 4, 1ounce skeins of 320 yards each for a total of 1280 yards per set. Each skein is numbered 1 through 4. The skeins are transitioned through the knitting process. When you are almost finished with the first skein, alternate rows of the first and second skein to make the transition. Repeat for the remaining skeins to get a soft color change from light to dark or dark to light.
