Request from Grandson Age 6.

Don't worry, the red phase will pass.

That looks lovely Jalima* and it's all acrylic as well.Will he accept the bit of green in There though, Hilda?

I have knitted garments for the DGD in King Cole Splash, it won't graduate slowly up the jumper, but does give a nice effect in rows.

I forgot to mention that he needs very soft acrylic yarn due to his sensory problems. No pure wool. It's difficult.

Yes roses everything has to be red. It's a bit difficult finding red boys shoes!!!. He's had to settle for black, but he's not happy. He wants his sweater to start off at the top and get darker towards the bottom. This I can do. I was looking for graduated tarn or something self striping. I might have to settle for different shades of the same wool.

You could try www.deramores.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?colour=1498&q=multi+coloured
they have a huge range, but I am not sure about graduating from light to darker red, but probably they do a multi-mix.

Good luck. Otherwise, can you use three different shades and graduate it yourself?

Can't help you on this Hilda but our grandson once had a green period ( like an artist!) so know just what you mean.

red yarn
This site seems to sell several shades of red in the same yarn. You could then possibly make it up in a gradient through the different shades. I hope you find something to suit, he probably knows exactly how it should look and may be difficult to please. Perhaps he could help you choose the yarn. Good luck!

Could you get a range of reds from somewhere like www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/yarn ? They have cascade in several shades of red.
