Hold 3 strands of It’s a Wrap Rainbow™ by Red Heart to make a quick, soft and warm scarf.
Use crossfading gradient yarns to knit a quick project
I’m happy to introduce Red Heart it’s a wrap Rainbow gradient yarn from their it’s a wrap series of themed colorways. These are bright colors that transition gradually from one to another along the lengthy yardage of each cake. Both Croquette and Rainbow are also non-allergenic for those sensitive to animal fibers. Each cake of it’s a wrap yarn, in this case the Rainbow™ series, consists of 623 yards [570m] of 4-ply yarn where the plies aren’t twisted; that’s just over 5 ¼ oz. [150g] of cotton-acrylic blend. Each ply consists of two even finer plies that have been twisted. The 4 plies are not twisted because the plies are “shifted” to form the gradients. At any point along the 600+ yards you will find that 2 or 3 of the plies are one color and the other plies are the next color in the gradient. There are tiny knots at the points where the one ply in a color is joined to the next color, but as these plies are so fine, you cannot feel the knot in the knit fabric. It comes in 8 bright colorways! 32

I’ve folded the scarf in a zig-zag fashion to make it easier to see the transitions in the gradients of the 3 strands of Red Heart Rainbow™ held together.
By using 3 strands of Red Heart Rainbow™ together, you can make this quick 1-row pattern scarf with a depth of color because of the different blendings.
