Reminiscent of freshly churned butter, it has a lovely balance of warm buttery tones and subtle hints of honey. The colour is brighter than a traditional cream, yet softer and more muted than a sunny yellow, giving it a smooth, mellow appearance. There is a slight golden undertone that adds depth without making the shade too strong or saturated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich Buttercream has the appeal of a classic warm yellow, reminiscent of homemade custard, golden cream and sunlit fields. A cheerful yet understated shade, it brings a little sunshine to any colour palette and works beautifully alongside soft neutrals, warm browns, blush pinks and deeper golden tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhite Cloud 4 Ply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e50% Merino | 50% Silk | Non-Superwash | 400m \/ 100g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Cloud is a beautifully balanced 4 ply yarn combining \u003cstrong\u003e50% merino wool with 50% silk\u003c\/strong\u003e. The merino provides softness, body and a little elasticity, while the silk adds a smooth handle, subtle lustre and lovely drape.
