You could do fade tops? If you're confident they'd all wash in the same way...

I was thinking fade sweater! Can’t search for the pattern now but they would work really well in some kind of fade project!

My worry about a fade jumper is yardage, I only have 1400m total and the sleeves take some juggling to get right. I made up my own pattern for this one and it used way more yarn than I thought it would


I am wondering if this might work though ravelry.com especially if I do a provisional cast on and not decide on a colour for the ribbing until I see what I have left
