Bright and highly saturated, it sits between hot pink and raspberry, with just enough depth to keep it from feeling neon. The colour has a clear, even intensity across the skein, giving it a wonderfully bold appearance while retaining the soft, slightly blue-toned quality of a classic pink. A cheerful, statement-making colour that would be lovely on its own or paired with softer pinks, purples, reds or crisp neutrals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTonal variation throughout - not quite as saturated as the image portrays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSencha is a perfect yarn for beaded lace or double it to give you a heavier more fingering weight yarn suitable for a wider range of projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSencha – 2 Ply\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSencha is a beautifully soft blend of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e50% superwash merino wool and 50% silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, combining the gentle elasticity of merino with the smoothness and subtle lustre of silk.
