Organza Skirt - 4 ply in Mulberry silk - Ginseng f

Organza Skirt is a deep, smoky slate grey with subtle lavender-blue undertones. This is a cool, dusky shade of grey that shifts beautifully with the light, moving from a soft charcoal-slate to flashes of muted violet and blue-grey. The lustrous silk adds another dimension to the colour, creating gentle highlights across the surface of the yarn and giving it a lovely depth without making it feel overly dark. There is just enough lavender in the mix to soften the grey and add a hint of colour, while the overall impression remains firmly slate grey. Organza Skirt is a versatile shade that works beautifully as a sophisticated neutral, but has more interest than a straightforward grey. It would pair particularly well with dusty lilacs, soft lavender, faded denim, silver, charcoal and other cool, muted tones. A beautiful choice for shawls, lightweight garments and luxurious accessories.
