Knitting with QUATRO DÉGRADÉ

QUATTRO DÉGRADÉ (a review)

You know that feeling when your yarn just behaves — smooth in your hands, stitches looking even, and the colour changes doing all the hard work for you? That’s QUATTRO DÉGRADÉ. It’s summer knitting made easy, beautiful, and completely stress-free.

My First Impressions

QUATTRO DÉGRADÉ instantly stands out with its lustrous mercerised finish and seamless gradient colour transitions. The sheen gives it a silk-like quality that catches the light beautifully, while the colour flows naturally from shade to shade without harsh breaks. In-hand, it feels substantial yet smooth, striking the perfect balance between softness and structure for summer knitting.

Knitting Experience

On 3.5 mm needles, the yarn glides smoothly without being slippery. The even texture makes achieving consistent stitches effortless, and the gradual gradients are captivating to watch develop row by row.

Wearing and Performance
