Knitting with QUATTRO COLOUR

QUATTRO COLOUR (a review)

If you want a yarn that does all the heavy lifting for you, QUATTRO COLOUR is a dream. The mercerised cotton gives it shine and crisp stitch definition, while the colour-printing creates smooth tonal changes without any tricky techniques. It’s soft, durable, machine washable — and it makes even the simplest project look like something special.

My First Impressions

QUATTRO COLOUR is 100% mercerised, gassed cotton enhanced by advanced colour-printing technology, creating vibrant, shifting tones that catch light with every movement. Instead of flat colour changes, the printed process delivers gradual, organic transitions that make knitting an ongoing discovery.
