Shift Your Knits

I invite you to grab five colors of delicious fingering weight yarn and make your own shift!

It’s a color progression that plays with hue, light and texture.

By cycling through five colorways, each juxtaposed with the next in a series of Garter and Stockinette rows, you will create little optical illusions that shift and change with light and angles.

A shift works because colors look very different depending on what’s around them. What looks like pale lavender in the skein, might appear to be an icy gray when laid against a green background. A color that looks like navy blue in Stockinette, might morph into dark grape when it’s worked in Garter ridges and placed near a hot pink.
