Some yarns are beautiful.
Transitions is magical.
The Fibre Co describes their brand new sport-weight (size 2) yarn best, "shifting between hues as effortlessly as nature’s most captivating moments — "dawn breaking over quiet mountains, dusk settling on a glassy lake, or the shimmering dance of auroras across the night sky." Every stitch feels like a brushstroke in a living painting, gently evolving as you work.
When I first saw this yarn I fell in love and ordered all the colors, then set to work planning out a light-weight coat, tam o'shanter, and a coordinating cowl for this coming winter (pics to come in a design post next month). Transitions shines in simple stitch patterns, pairing well with coordinating solids in slip-stitch patterns, or use it in stranded colorwork for warmer garments.
"The beauty lies in how the color changes respond to your design: wide panels create bold, sweeping shifts, while narrow sections reveal a soft watercolor effect."

Why You’ll Love It
Transitions makes colorwork effortless. There’s no juggling multiple skeins or weaving in endless ends—just knit and let the yarn do the work. The gradual changes keep your project engaging without being overwhelming, making it perfect for relaxing, meditative stitching.
Unlike hand-painted yarns, the colors are blended seamlessly during the spinning process. One dominant color runs continuously through the yarn to create a unifying base tone, while three additional colors are added at precise intervals, creating soft tonal shifts from one shade to the next.
The Blend
A mix of 50% Highland wool, and 50% Alpaca gives this yarn a subtle halo—soft and airy, with just the right amount of warmth. Whether you’re making a lightweight wrap, an elegant scarf, or a cozy sweater, your finished piece will have that irresistible, ever-changing depth that makes people ask, “How did you do that?"
