Underwing
Underwing is a gentle, nature–inspired fade that moves from soft eucalyptus grey into a warm golden ochre. The pale grey carries a hint of green and silver, like weathered leaves and cool morning light, before gradually deepening into honeyed mustard tones that glow at the skein’s edge.
The shift between the shades feels organic and understated, echoing the quiet surprise of a bird’s hidden feathers revealed in flight. Subtle, earthy and softly luminous, this colourway creates beautiful depth in simple stitches and a delicate transition in fades and shawls.
Originally part of the Birds sets, Underwing remains a calm and characterful palette with a touch of warmth tucked inside its cool exterior.
