Silje, Enchanticakes

Enchanticakes are pretty simple, 3 ply 50% cotton and 50% acrylic ombre cake with additional lurex thread but...

They're all made as Ombreccino mandala* 😊

It doesn't mean they can be used only for mandalas or round shaped items. They'll work fabulously in shawls or blankets too. In regular Ombreccino all colour changes are exactly the same length, in Ombreccino mandala each of them is longer than the previous one so as your work gets bigger , the colour changes seem more balanced instead of getting 'shorter'.

*Ombreccino mandala is a yarn cake created for mandalas, it's specially adjusted so each colour change is longer than the previous one, so they make beautiful gradient effect- very much needed in this type of crocheted items.

Suggested crochet hook or knitting needles are 3-4mm but it's really i up to you and your preferences.

It's worth to mention that Ombreccino mandala needs to be worked from the centre of the cake so they keep their colour balance, but with these cakes I have added an option that cake can be spun backwards (reverting the colours order only) or it can be spun backwards to be worked from the outside as well, so you can start your work from the side your prefer 😊

These are considered to be 3 ply, no 1, super fine, light fingering, sock, baby weight.

I'm doing my best to show you the real colours of my yarns but due to different monitor settings, colours may be slightly different.

Happy crafting!
