Hand Dyed Yarn
Greyed Rainbow Silk and Merino Blend Fingering
Greyed Rainbow Silk and Merino Blend Fingering
This was one of the colorways I had to knit a swatch of, just to see how it would look. I love the way the green pops up unexpectedly - but subtly - to create a complex but wearable fabric. The overall cast is definitely a dusty purple sort of color, and with the sheen of the silk it's practically iridescent. (Reminds me of the colorful oil slicks you see on the surface of puddles...)
FYI the swatch was about 3" wide, so the color changes are very short and the colors won't "pool".
Beautiful Merino and silk yarn, with more than expected silk in the blend - 30% silk, and 70% Merino - is a joy to knit with.
This yarn has a beautiful drape and sheen, while still retaining the wonderful Merino softness and spring. Perfect for socks or cowls.
