Ingenua Ombré from Concept by Katia is a mohair yarn dyed in a long single-color gradient, so each ball shades slowly from light to deep within one color family. It's 78% mohair, 13% polyamide and 9% virgin wool, with the soft halo mohair is known for and 306 yards in every 100 g ball. Because the shading is built into the ball, a sweater or shawl moves through its tones with no color changes on your part. Knit it at a looser gauge for an airy, see-through fabric, or tighter for a warm, fuzzy one.
