Gradient of the Month - May - Bouganvillea

May Gradient of the Month - Bouganvillea

I love my gradient sets and I'd love to dye them in every possible color! But my space is limited and I can't stock them all at once. The solution? Dyeing a small quantity of a new color each month. 

Gradients are composed of 5 mini skeins forming an ombre fade of a single hue.

Each of the 5 skeins weighs 20 grams for a total of 100 gr per each set.

For May I've choose the color Bouganvillea, inspired buy the one in my garden.

It is a bright and vibrant pink with a purple touch, I've choose this color as it will pair amazingly with Olive (April gradient of the month)
