Colour without the effort — that's the appeal of Patons Sierra 8 Ply. This self-striping yarn does the creative work for you, shifting through its palette of landscape-inspired tones as you knit or crochet, so every project arrives with built-in colour interest and no colour changes to manage. No joining new balls mid-row, no weaving in extra ends — just cast on and watch the stripes emerge.
Blended from 80% acrylic and 20% wool, Sierra strikes a practical balance between warmth and easy care. The wool content adds a natural softness and a little elasticity that keeps your tension even, while the acrylic ensures the finished fabric is durable, machine-washable, and holds its colour wash after wash. At 375 metres per 150 g ball, it's an economical choice for larger projects — blankets, sweaters, scarves, and shawls — where a single ball can take you a long way.
The palette spans 23 colourways, each named after natural landscapes: from the warm tones of Canyon Glow, Gold Rush, and Sundown through to the cool blues of Glacier Lake, Niagara, and Whirlpool, with earthy neutrals like Drift, Sagebrush, and Granite Peak rounding out the range. Whether you're drawn to bold or understated, there's a Sierra colourway to suit.
