Before You Start with Iride
The white leader yarn at the ends of an Iride cake is waste yarn. For a centre pull, remove the white leader before starting. If working from the outside, stop before the final white leader section and discard it. Do not knit or crochet the white leader into your project.
Yarn Requirements
| Size / project | Yarn | Strands held | Metres supplied |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS, S, M, L, XL | Sesia Iride | Single | 450 m |
Use one strand throughout. The gradient creates the colour changes without joining separate shades.

About the Yarn
Sesia Iride is a 4ply / fingering yarn made in Italy from 100% organic cotton, with 450 metres per cake. Its long gradient creates flowing colour changes. Choose your Iride shade from the kit options; availability depends on stock.
Pattern
Naturally Yarns N1682 printed knitting pattern included. Read the printed pattern, choose your size where applicable, check the kit contents and swatch before casting on.
Care
Follow the washing instructions on your yarn label. Reshape gently and dry flat; avoid hanging wet cotton, which can stretch.
