Callista Color Wheels are playful color adventures that shift slowly from one color or tone to another. They are hand dyed in knitted blanks, washed, reskeined, dried under a little tension to minimize kinks and carefully wound into balls with the strands from either end easily accessible to begin your work with. Due to the many steps involved in the process the occasional ball (less than 5%) may have a knot, it is advised to cut the knot and weave in the ends as you knit, it will not interrupt the color sequence. Use by itself from one end to the other or with a contrasting solid. Callista is 3 ply construction fingering weight yarn, pair with Apex, Astrid, Celaeno or Matrika. Great for fingering weight projects; shawls, wraps, and light weight garments.
Please note: Product is one Color Wheel, if the product photo shows two wheels it is showing the same color wheel wound two different ways to show more of the range of colors. Typically dyed in pairs of two so the depth of saturation and tones will be very close but the distribution of the colors is not an exact match between two balls, close but not perfect! If there are more than two in stock, colors between batches were not significant enough to justify making them separate items. If you have a preference of which direction ball is wound please leave a note in comments when placing order (i.e. wind with pink on inside of ball), and I will try to accommodate you, no guarantees because many are already wound.
