    I've neither seen (in person) nor used any of the Gradience Series of yarns from The Unique Sheep, but there are some gorgeous colorways in that! I particularly like the Reflecting Pool, Sunset Road, Deep Waters, Peacock, and Brew Pub.

  3. marianne Says:

    December 21, 2010 at 12:54 AM

    this is my favorite range of colors! *swoon*

    (I'd knit you the shawl just for the pleasure of working with the yarn!)

  4. Clara says:

    December 21, 2010 at 12:57 AM

    I have neither seen nor heard of these stunning yarns. The saturated colours are gorgeous. Particularly the peacock, sunset gradience and ooh la la. Just thinking of all the yummy things I could knit with these.

  5. Clicky Needles says:

    December 21, 2010 at 12:59 AM

    I have seen this yarn before, used for a beautiful shawl on Ravelry!! I have never worked with it before, however, and would love to. The colours are so "me"!

  11. Frankly Beka says:

    December 21, 2010 at 3:45 AM

    I have often dreamed of working with a yarn that subtly shifted from one color to the next, but haven't yet found the time or money to do so. I kinda wanna buy the Lady of Shallot crochet shawl pattern too. Don't usually enjoy crochet, but it looks so good! It calls to me.

  12. Avila says:

    December 21, 2010 at 3:50 AM

    I've never used this yarn before but there are beautiful projects with it on Ravelry!

  13. Kelly J. R. says:

  14. Beathag says:

    December 21, 2010 at 4:38 AM

    No I haven't used the Gradiance Collection yarns before and I am not that good to knit you a Secret Garden circular shawl. Sorry....

  22. Debra Says:

    December 21, 2010 at 5:32 AM

  28. stephanie_rj says:

    December 21, 2010 at 5:53 AM

    I have not, but would love to! I love the option of semi-solid gradiated colourways - ombre dying is beloved my me and this is such a lovely emulation. I love the Peacock.

  29. Keya says:

    December 21, 2010 at 5:55 AM

    I love this yarn! It makes the most beautiful socks. I'm pretty partial to the Sun Stone, myself.

    I've never done any gradient knitting before, but I am VERY tempted by the secret garden shawl.

  54. Ann says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:14 AM

    What an interesting idea, to have the gradations in the yarn like that! Obviously, I haven't seen or used this yarn yet--but I sure would like to have a chance at it. That Peacock is just gorgeous.

  55. dragonharrower says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:16 AM

  59. Susan J. says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:28 AM

  60. Gabriela says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:32 AM

    Wow! I've never seen this before but I absolutely love it. I looked through various of the colorways and I couldn't pick a favorite. This is something that will definitely go on my wishlist.

  61. ChrisC says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:32 AM

  62. Yarn Tails says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:35 AM

    There yarn is wonderful and they even do custom dye jobs. They dyed some to match my Harley coat and its fab!! I have knitted a couple of things from their yarn and have more to do. Plus signed up for the crochet cal and will be signing up for the Little Mermaid KAL... :D

  63. JuleeQue says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:38 AM

  64. Melissa H. Says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:53 AM

    There is a first time for everything, and this is the first time I've heard of the collection. Maybe the first time I can use it will be soon?

  65. Tanya says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:57 AM

    I had never even seen/heard of this yarn before now, but I LOVE it!! I love the idea and it would give a project such depth!

  66. Laurie says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:58 AM

  68. Susan says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:07 AM

    This yarn would be perfect for the Secret Garden pattern.

  69. Debbie says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:13 AM

    I have expressed my love of handdyed yarn before, but the gradiance collection kicks it up even more! I haven't used this yarn but would love to give it a whirl on a round shawl!

  70. gill says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:14 AM

    I've never seen this range before but It looks gorgeous!! and if you find someone to knit you the shawl ask them if they'll make one for me too!!!

  71. Nicole P. Says:

  73. Denise says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:38 AM

    Those colors are gorgeous. I've never used their yarn, nor heard of them I'm afraid, but would love to ;-)

  74. Wendy says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:38 AM

    Not a fan of variegated yarns, so Gradience would be a nice way to work in some color changes.

  75. twistedtexan says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:45 AM

    I haven't had a chance to knit the Gradience Series of yarns - they're stunning though!

  76. Kate says:

    December 21, 2010 at 9:53 AM

    I haven't used them, but they are lovely. Anything that comes in such lovely transitioning colors must be good!

  77. Kim says:

    December 21, 2010 at 10:07 AM

  82. Erin says:

    December 21, 2010 at 10:43 AM

    I haven't seen it before, but I'm very interested in the slow fades that are produced. Island reverie, Jack's beach, and firestarted caught my eye right off the bad.

  83. Diane says:

    December 21, 2010 at 10:54 AM

    I have not used this yarn before but would love to start. :) I love the effect of gradient dyed yarns. And what amazing fall colors!

  84. Sarah says:

    December 21, 2010 at 11:00 AM

    I haven't used the gradience yarns, but I've seen them; they are STUNNING! Really beautiful. And I agree with you, the November colourway is just crazy pretty!

  85. Lara says:

    December 21, 2010 at 11:10 AM

  86. Connie says:

    December 21, 2010 at 11:24 AM

    I have salivated over the Gradiance Collection every time I look at The Unique Sheep's website and think it is just gorgeous. Alas, I haven't had a chance to use it yet (though I could if I won).

  87. thewalshfam says:

    December 21, 2010 at 11:31 AM

    I've never seen or used this gorgeous yarn before. I have been missing out :o)

  88. Turtle says:

    December 21, 2010 at 11:35 AM

    I love the Unique Sheep! I got lucky enough to inspire a couple of their colorways with photos i emailed them, have a set of their gradiance waiting for the shawl to inspire it's use, and knit their enchanted stole KAL and enjoyed it. Their fibers and colors are wonderful!

  89. knitterlydesigns says:

    December 21, 2010 at 11:35 AM

    I have never seen these before but they are beautiful! In wintertime I love to knit in bright colors since it is so brown outside.

    December 21, 2010 at 3:01 PM

    Oh, my, those colors are beautiful, and so is that shawl. I'm sorry to say I haven't used ony of the Gradience yarn. I just might need to change that.

  101. Marlitharn says:

    December 21, 2010 at 3:11 PM

    I've never knit a circular shawl before, but I'd love to do it in that yarn!

  105. oakbayknits Says:

    December 21, 2010 at 4:59 PM

    I used one of the first gradience yarn sets in a sock club several years ago. Still one of my favourite pairs!

  106. Linda Says:

  107. Natalie Servant says:

    December 21, 2010 at 6:04 PM

    December 21, 2010 at 6:26 PM

    This concept is so clever. I haven't used this yarn, but there's gotta be a first time. I'm hoping for a litte Holiday Miracle.

  109. Mercy says:

    December 21, 2010 at 6:34 PM

    I've never seen or used this yarn before. I don't typically pick colors like this, but am loving how warm and inviting they look.

  110. Charlotte says:

    December 21, 2010 at 6:52 PM

    what beautiful colours. I would almost be too scared to use the yarn. I have a problem with journals that I'm too scared to write in because I don't want to ruin them :-(

  111. Rhonnie says:

    December 21, 2010 at 6:55 PM

    I actually do have one gradience set of a lace weight yarn (the moonfleet KAL). Haven't used it yet though.
    That set is absolutely GORGESOU!

    And ummm, since I've yet to complete even one lace shawl...you probably shouldn't count on me for the circular one, lol. Though if YOU want to make ME one...I'd be happy to accept :D

  112. Sarah says:

    December 21, 2010 at 7:56 PM

    I've never seen or used these yarns but they sure are pretty!!

  114. Judi A. says:

    December 21, 2010 at 8:34 PM

    I have never seen or used this yarn, but WoW! the colors are to "dye" for! As soon as I saw them I wanted them all and my mind immediately started thinking about what I could make to do them justice. Sorry, but I just don't have the patience to knit that shawl. :-(

    I love these yarns. I have a set in the Greenman gradience colorway that I haven't knit with yet. But I love almost all of the colorways. Yummy!

    What a beautiful range of colors. I've been on a yarn diet all year long and have been looking for something to order on January 1st. I may have found it.

    I love these yarns, the way they work up is amazing. I love that you can choose the order in which you use the skeins, so you can have a smooth progression of color or something stripe-ier-ish.

    I've seen the Gradiance Collection yarns before, but I haven't tried them yet. I think most of them are gorgeous and would love to use them for a special project, although I do think it would be a bit of a pain to weave in the extra ends.

    I have never used the Gradience Series, but it is mouthwatering!

    And, uh, I'll knit you that shawl as soon as I find the time to knit one for myself (keep in mind, I have two very small children).

  146. Knititall says:

    December 23, 2010 at 8:54 AM

    These are gorgeous! I haven't used the yarn before or even seen it in person (if I'd seen it, I would've definitely bought it if it's this pretty!), but I'd love the chance to. Also, I'm not sure I can knit you the shawl because I'm afraid I'd have to keep it ;)
    Happy holidays!

    I haven't had the chance to use these yarns (yet) but I have drooled watching Susan Pandorf use them in her designs. I'd love to try.

    If you wanted to buy the yarn, I'd knit the shawl.

    I have not used the gradience before but I am part of the CSK for Chrissy Gardiner's new book and she designed a pattern specifically for this yarn. It is beautiful and I've seen it knit in the Verve colorway set. I'd love to make some of my own.

    I have yet to knit with this yarn, but after looking at those photos it's all I'm going to be thinking about. I'm planning on learning how to crochet soon (right now I only know how to knit), and I think that yarn would make some gorgeous granny squares!
