Love the scarf - and you're right, the purl side looks great! I thought that "Ombre" means a more slow gradient without abrupt color change, too.

Tipp: Do you have a Ravelry-account? You can do a quick search for the yarn there when you're in the shop and take a look at the projects made with it. If you have the associeated "Stash-to-go"-App you only need to scan the bar code on the label ;)
