2026 June colour of the Month - Dyed to order - Burnished Copper

Burnished Copper is a warm, glowing blend of golden ochre and rich copper, with soft shifts into deeper rust. The colour moves gently across the skein, from sunlit honeyed tones through to darker, toasted amber, creating a sense of depth without harsh contrast.

There’s a quiet brightness to it — not brash, but steady and warm — like late afternoon light catching on dry grass and worn metal. The balance of gold and copper gives it life and movement, giving the shade a gentle luminosity.

This time of year is busy ... and I'm afraid there is a bit of a wait for your Dye to order colours right now. I usually say 2 weeks but currently may be as long as 4 weeks. I apologise for the wait but as a single woman business it's the best I can do.

Get it at 20% off during the month and Dyed to Order to allow for larger quantities to be dyed in one dyelot - this is one of those colours that does seem to vary considerably between dyelots.

I'm leaving up our dyed to order colours of 2025 so you can still select those- they will be deleted as the month ends in 2026.
