Roseate Emperor Moth #2 - Merino/ Silk 4 ply single - Osmanthus4

Originally dyed as part of the 2025 yarn club  and now available individually -

This colour in the Roseate Emperor Moth kit is a warm, golden yellow—rich and saturated, but with a softness that keeps it grounded. It brings to mind the colour of sunlit wattle or late afternoon light on dry earth. There’s a slight orange undertone running through it, lending it the depth of marigold or golden ochre without becoming brash. The sheen of the yarn gives it a subtle glow, enhancing its warmth and adding dimension. This is a generous, luminous colour that pairs beautifully with both deeper and brighter shades—confident, sun-warmed, and full of life.
