To show off this effect in the yarn, I think I need to sell it in the center-pull balls rather than in skeins; in skeins it just looks like black/color variegated yarn, you can't really tell there's anything special about it. My dilemma is, I plan to offer it in not only a 4oz ball but also sets of two 2oz balls so people can make things like socks and have them match. But how would I package two 2oz balls together for shops? I don't like the idea of putting them in a plastic bag because that inhibits petting, which is a very important part of the yarn-buying process.
Please leave a comment with any ideas you have on how I could package two together so that they'd be visible, pettable, but would stay neat and attached to each other. I'm kind of stumped!

will ponder and get back to you...
maybe include a graphic on the wrapper that shows how the color shift occurrs in a completed item?
You could wind a thread through the center of each of the two balls (in a figure 8 pattern). It would hold the two together, and a label could be hung from the tails.
I'm assuming you'll use a ball winder to make them into "cakes?" If so, maybe you can tie them together through the middles, either with yarn or a paper cuff?
Also - omg, that yarn/shawl is GORGEOUS.
