Spring Protea - 5 ply silk and merino - Jasmine 5

Spring Protea

Spring Protea is a soft, muted pink with a slightly dusty, rosy character. It sits between blush pink and old rose, with subtle variations through the skein that give the colour a lovely depth. There are touches of warmer pink and a gentle peachy undertone, particularly where the yarn takes the dye more lightly.

The overall effect is a natural, softly faded pink — pretty without being overly sweet or bright. A versatile shade that would work beautifully on its own or paired with soft neutrals, deeper rose tones, burgundy, plum or muted greens.

Jasmine 5 Ply – Sport Weight

50% Superwash Merino / 50% Mulberry Silk | 300m per 100g | Sport Weight

Jasmine 5 Ply is a beautiful blend of 50% superwash merino and 50% mulberry silk, combining the softness and elasticity of merino with the smoothness and gentle sheen of silk.

A little heavier than Jasmine 4 Ply, this sport-weight yarn has a tighter ply twist, giving it a smooth, well-defined stitch and excellent stitch definition. The superwash merino makes it practical for garments and accessories that need a little more ease of care, while the silk adds drape, lustre and a lovely handle.

Jasmine 5 Ply is particularly suited to sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, hats and other garments, and works beautifully for textured stitches, lace and colourwork.

As a hand-dyed yarn, Jasmine 5 Ply takes colour beautifully, with the merino providing depth and the silk adding subtle luminosity to the finished colour.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool or lukewarm water using a wool wash. Do not agitate or rub. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water. Reshape and dry flat. Do not tumble dry.

Please note: Hand-dyed yarns can vary slightly between dye lots. For larger projects, we recommend purchasing enough yarn from the same dye lot where possible, or alternating skeins when working with multiple skeins.

If you want, I can also make the Jasmine 4 Ply and Jasmine 5 Ply descriptions deliberately parallel, so the two product pages read as a matching range while clearly explaining the difference between them.

Red Dune is a rich, earthy orange-red with deep terracotta and russet tones. Brown undertones give the colour depth, while flashes of warm copper and burnt orange add variation through the skein. A beautifully autumnal shade with a naturally earthy character.
