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

Rust

Rust is a rich, earthy terracotta red with warm burnt-orange undertones. It has the depth of oxidised iron, softened with a touch of coral warmth that keeps the colour feeling fresh and lively rather than brown. There is a lovely variation across the yarn, with deeper copper-red tones sitting alongside brighter terracotta highlights, giving the colour plenty of depth and movement.

Rust is a wonderfully versatile shade, sitting comfortably between brick red, burnt sienna and deep copper. Its warmth makes it particularly striking against creams, soft neutrals and natural shades, while it also works beautifully with blush, dusty pinks, olive and muted greens. A strong but wearable colour, Rust brings richness and character to garments, shawls and accessories without feeling overly bright.
