Roseate Emperor Moth #3 - Merino/ Silk 4 ply single - Osmanthus4

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

This colour from the Roseate Emperor Moth kit is a bright, confident pink that leans into its vividness without tipping into neon. It holds a cheerful warmth, like the flush of rose petals in full sun or the vibrant pink of a summer blossom just before it fades. The silk content of the yarn gives it a lustrous sheen, which catches the light and adds a sense of movement and depth to the colour. There’s a freshness to it—clean and saturated—with just enough softness to keep it wearable and versatile. It’s bold, joyful, and unmistakably alive.
