Hali

An airy pullover knitted sideways, cuff to cuff, in a soft cotton-blend gradient you design yourself. Every ball is a chapter in the ombre. Reclaimed yarn, unrepeated colourways, one-of-a-kind result.

The gradient is variable-length. Some knitters pick 4 colours, some 8. The tool keeps a running total and cuts the last ball at 225 g so nothing is wasted.

How the gradient works

1Pick your first colour Your left cuff. Whichever mood you want to start in.
2Add the next, and the next Each ball is knit whole in order. The transition between balls is where the ombre happens.
3Stop when you hit 225 g The tool tracks the running total. The last ball on the needles gets cut when 225 g is reached, so you always have enough and never too much.

Hali in the wild

What arrives at your door

A Hali kit: six wound yarn balls in an ombre gradient from dusty pink through white, sage-green and dark grey, alongside a repurposed cream chevron gift bag with a Vastalanka QR hangtag A finished Hali kit ready to ship, all balls tucked into a repurposed patterned paper bag with a printed QR hangtag

A little parcel, honest and hand-packed

Every Hali kit arrives with:

  • The balls you chose, wound and weighed for the ombre order
  • A printed band on each ball with its position (H1, H2, H3…), colour name, source and grams
  • A hangtag with a QR code that opens the Hali pattern PDF on your phone

The bag itself is repurposed too. Most of our kits travel in gift bags, wine-bottle bags and paper sleeves that already had one life. Reused yarn deserves reused wrapping.
