Ming Tile - 3ply mulberry silk _ Ginseng hl

Ming Tile is a rich honey yellow inspired by the traditional glazed roof tiles of Beijing’s ancient architecture. This striking colour carries a golden warmth with a subtle mustard undertone, evoking the timeless elegance and grandeur of imperial rooftops. It sits somewhere between sunlit amber and earthen gold, giving it both brightness and depth. Ming Tile brings a sense of history and quiet strength, while remaining versatile enough to pair with neutrals, deeper tones, or even soft pastels. It’s a colour that holds its own—warm, bold, and full of quiet character, perfect for creating pieces with presence and grace.

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.
