Damson is a rich, dusky purple with a strong plum core and subtle wine undertones. It sits comfortably between purple and berry, darker than a true mauve but softer than an aubergine, with a quiet depth that feels grounded rather than dramatic. In the light, gentle tonal shifts move through the skein, revealing hints of ripe damson skin and dried fruit.
This is a colour that works beautifully on its own for garments with presence, and just as well as a supporting shade alongside greys, soft pinks, blues, or muted greens. Elegant without being showy, Damson is an easy choice for sweaters, shawls, and accessories where you want colour that feels confident and enduring.
Osmanthus – 4 Ply Merino Silk Singles
Osmanthus is a beautifully soft singles yarn that combines the elasticity of fine merino with the subtle sheen and drape of silk. The single-ply construction allows colours to bloom with gentle tonal variation, creating a fabric with depth and a softly organic appearance.
This yarn is ideal for shawls, lightweight garments, scarves and accessories where drape and colour are the focus. The silk adds a gentle lustre while the merino provides softness against the skin, making Osmanthus a pleasure to knit and wear.

As every skein is hand dyed in small batches, each one is unique. If your project requires more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows for an even distribution of colour.
To keep your finished project looking its best, hand wash in cool water using a wool wash, gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat away from direct sunlight.
