Calm Seas
Calm Seas is a tranquil blue-green shade that sits between turquoise and seafoam, echoing the clarity of shallow coastal water. It carries a cool, refreshing feel without sharpness, settling into a smooth, balanced teal that feels soft and composed.
Subtle tonal shifts run through the skein, creating gentle movement rather than high contrast. At times it leans more blue, then softly tips toward green, much like water under a quiet sky. An easy, restful colour, it pairs beautifully with greys, warm neutrals, and deeper teals.
These two skeins have more tonal variation than is usual in my dyeing.
Ginseng HL (3 Ply) – 100% Mulberry Silk
Ginseng HL is a luxurious 100% mulberry silk yarn with a beautiful natural sheen and an exceptionally smooth handle. Spun as a 3 ply heavy laceweight, it offers wonderful stitch definition and drape, making it an excellent choice for elegant lace shawls, wraps, scarves and lightweight garments.
Each hand-dyed skein develops rich tonal variation that enhances both simple stocking stitch and intricate lace patterns. The finished fabric feels cool against the skin, making Ginseng HL particularly well suited to year-round accessories and garments.
Although classed as a heavy laceweight, the generous 600 metres allows for substantial shawls and delicate layering pieces from a single skein. Knit on its own, it creates a fluid fabric with graceful drape, or pair it with a mohair silk yarn to add softness and a subtle halo.
