Sandalwood - 2 ply in Mulberry silk - Pekoe (l)

Sandalwood is a delicate blend of soft pink and muted orange, exuding a subtle and refined charm. This shade is a lighter, airier interpretation of the classic Sandalwood tone, offering a gentle and sophisticated aesthetic. The pink hues are understated and reminiscent of faded rose petals, while the orange undertones are softened to resemble a faint glow of terracotta touched by light.

This colour feels fresh yet timeless, making it a perfect choice for designs that seek a balance of elegance and subtlety. The muted, almost pastel quality of Sandalwood evokes the natural tones of weathered wood or sunlit sand, lending a sense of calm and serenity. It pairs beautifully with a wide spectrum of colours, from neutral creams and greys to more vibrant tones like deep teal or classic navy.

Ideal for projects that emphasise softness and delicacy, Sandalwood adds a touch of quiet sophistication. Whether featured in fine lacework, intricate patterns, or clean, minimalist designs, this colour enhances every creation with its gentle and harmonious presence, offering an understated beauty that feels effortlessly natural.
