I need a fabric detective

I am trying to find some fabric that changes shad across it's width.
Does it exist? I need some that goes from very pale yellow to a middling
yellow .
I have seen some that changes colour but not any that changes shades of the
same colour.
Clues would be gratefully accepted. I know that the collective knowledge of
this group is fantastic, but maybe I'm chasing a dream?

Ruth, I think Moda Ombres is the line that does that.

How just S-u-p-e-r, Ruth. I get to impress you with my brilliance in
mostly useless trivia. The magic word for your search is 'ombre'. There
are only two of them here, one black/white and one bit left in teal but they
are very helpful in piecing. Go see what you can find; ought to be fun.
Polly (Well. SpellCheck says that isn't even a word. I know it's not
umber or hombre.)

There are marble ombres from Moda. Most of the online shops I looked at
didn't show very good pictures but here's a pretty good pic of what it looks
like on eBay.

Yes it does exist - I have two sorts:

1) is Makower called 780 Ombre Texture

http://www.makoweruk.com/products.as...261&offset1=24

I have a yellow one - goes from pale yellow to quite a strong gold. I
tried Googling it and there are places in the US who carry it - also on
Ebay. Remember if you order from the UK it will be twice the price you
are used to paying!

2) is plain from Woodrow Studio, but the colour changes are not as
subtle as the Makower - I don't know the name for this though - the
selvedge just says Woodrow Studio for the Quilters Guild of the British
Isles, 25th Anniversary 2004.

I can recommend the Makower one though - I have it in yellow, gold,
green, two blues and grey, oh and red too. I think I like it!

I also have a Makower one from their Beside the Seaside range, but that
only comes in blue - it has bits of white in it, like sea

The fabric you want is definately an ombre and Makower makes some
lovely ombres in a somewhat watercolor brushed look....there is a
little white in them here and there...nothing glaring mind you. they
make a wide spectrum including two yellows. If I can help you
further...let me know. I have a fabric shop..and I carry these
fabrics...but I am not here to promote myself. Just thought that might
help.
Good luck!

Ooh Sally!
I wasn't asking, but aren't those Makower ones gorgeous.
Where do you get yours from? I think our Worcester shop has lots of
Makower fabrics, but I can't have seen this one anywhere or I would have
snapped some up - intended project or no!! If your supplier is coming
to Malvern, I could order them in advance and pick them up at the show.
TIA

Benartex makes one in their Gradations series, although it changes
from
edge to middle and back to edge again (ie. lightest in the middle and
darkest at the edges). The all yellow one is called corn cream. I
haven't
seen it in person, only online, but you may be able to find it at your
LQS
or whoever you normally shop from. I'm sure there are others out
there,
this is just the one I happened to find. NAYY, etc.

Mine came fron Sew and So's at Bungay.
http://www.sewsos.co.uk/

at a show - they were going like hot cakes! In fact I just missed out on
one of the colours. I looked on their web site but that fabric wasn't
there, but then they can't put everything in the shop on.

I also looked at which shows they were going to, but no info. They do do
shows though.

Makower have a list of their stockists on their site under 'Links' - you
might find that helpful.

I'm finding it really useful - you know a different shade from the same
piece will tone in well.
