Grape Crush – OOAK
Grape Crush is a rich, dusky purple with a beautiful mix of muted mauve, soft plum and vintage rose tones. The colour has plenty of depth, with lighter lilac and pinkish-purple areas mingling with deeper grape and inky violet accents. Scattered throughout are striking flashes of deep aubergine and almost black, creating an irregular pattern of dark, painterly streaks and splashes.
The overall effect is reminiscent of crushed grapes, with a slightly smoky, moody quality balanced by softer rose and lavender undertones. The variations in colour give this one-of-a-kind colourway plenty of character, with each skein offering its own combination of lighter and darker markings.
A lovely choice for those who enjoy purples with a little drama and plenty of tonal variation.
One of a kind — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Here is the revised version with the hand-dyed information included while keeping the same base format.
Darjeeling 8 Ply / DK
80% Superwash Merino | 20% Nylon
225m per 100g | 8 ply / DK weight
Darjeeling 8 ply is a soft and versatile DK-weight yarn, combining the smoothness and bounce of superwash merino with the added strength and resilience of nylon.
With a rounded structure and clear stitch definition, it works beautifully across a wide range of projects. The DK weight creates a comfortable, substantial fabric without feeling overly heavy, while the nylon adds durability for garments and accessories designed to be worn and enjoyed often.
Each skein is hand dyed in small batches, allowing colour to develop with subtle variation and character. As with all hand-dyed yarns, no two skeins will be exactly alike. When using more than one skein in a project, alternating skeins is recommended to create a balanced transition between them.
Darjeeling takes colour beautifully, with shades appearing clear and rich across the smooth merino base. It is well suited to sweaters, cardigans, vests, hats, scarves, shawls, blankets and children’s garments, as well as textured stitches, cables and colourwork.
