Pickle - mohair/silk/sequins - Gyrokuro 3ply

Pickle

Pickle is a rich, earthy yellow-green with a lively mix of olive, moss and golden chartreuse. This colour has a lovely depth, shifting between fresh leafy green and warm mustard yellow, with subtle variations that give it plenty of character. The golden tones bring a touch of sunshine, while the green keeps it grounded in the natural world. A wonderfully unusual shade, Pickle is full of personality and would make a beautiful addition to a botanical-inspired palette.

Gyrokuro

3 ply / Heavy Laceweight
300m / 50g
64% Kid Mohair · 23% Silk · 3% Superwash Merino · 10% Sequins

Gyrokuro is a soft, airy mohair and silk yarn with a beautiful, understated sparkle. The kid mohair creates a fine, soft halo, while silk adds drape and smoothness. Small sequins are spun through the yarn to give a subtle glimmer that catches the light without becoming overly sparkly.

At 300 metres per 50g, Gyrokuro is a 3 ply / heavy laceweight yarn. It can be knitted or crocheted on its own for light, airy fabrics, but it is particularly lovely carried along with another yarn. Used this way, Gyrokuro adds a soft mohair halo, a little extra dimension and its characteristic subtle sparkle, without obscuring the colour or character of the companion yarn.

It works especially well with 4 ply/fingering and sportweight yarns, adding interest to simple stitches as well as more textured designs. Try it with a smooth merino, silk or wool blend when you want to introduce a little softness and sparkle without changing the overall character of the project too dramatically.

Please note: Gauge and needle recommendations are a guide only and will vary according to the project, stitch pattern and whether Gyrokuro is used on its own or carried with another yarn.
