Silk and Sparkle Mohair kit - 3 plysilk +mohair/silk- Ginseng hl

Dijon — Ginseng & Silk/Mohair Set

A wonderfully unexpected take on Dijon, with three skeins that came out quite differently from their usual colours on these bases — but together, they make a particularly lovely combination, that I thought you should see. It really is an absolutely stunning combination that is just glowing.

The Ginseng heavy lace silk has taken the dye as a rich, golden Dijon, with deeper ochre and brown tones running through it. The two silk/mohair skeins have behaved quite differently, developing a beautiful mix of mustard, olive, golden yellow, rust and earthy brown, with the mohair halo giving the colours plenty of depth.

Rather than matching perfectly, the three skeins sit together almost like autumn foliage — golden, earthy and slightly wild, with each base bringing something different to the colour.

A beautiful set for a shawl or other project where the contrast between the smooth silk and fluffy silk/mohair can become part of the design.

One of a kind ....and will not be repeated.

Ginseng HL (3 Ply) – 100% Mulberry Silk

Ginseng HL is a luxurious 100% mulberry silk yarn with a beautiful natural sheen and an exceptionally smooth handle. Spun as a 3 ply heavy laceweight, it offers wonderful stitch definition and drape, making it an excellent choice for elegant lace shawls, wraps, scarves and lightweight garments.

Each hand-dyed skein develops rich tonal variation that enhances both simple stocking stitch and intricate lace patterns. The finished fabric feels cool against the skin, making Ginseng HL particularly well suited to year-round accessories and garments.

Although classed as a heavy laceweight, the generous 600 metres allows for substantial shawls and delicate layering pieces from a single skein. Knit on its own, it creates a fluid fabric with graceful drape, or pair it with a mohair silk yarn to add softness and a subtle halo.
