2026 May colour of the Month - Dyed to order - The Dove

One of the gorgeous pastel greys we stock is colour of the month for May. 

The Dove is a soft, serene shade of pale silver grey with a hint of teal and blush that exudes subtle elegance. With its delicate, almost weightless appearance, this colour brings a gentle touch of calm and sophistication to any project. Perfect for creating neutral pieces with a refined, airy feel, The Dove adds just the right hint of silver sheen without overpowering. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for both timeless classics and modern designs alike. 

Get it at 20% off during the month and Dyed to Order to allow for larger quantities to be dyed in one dyelot - this is one of those colours that does seem to vary considerably between dyelots.

I'm leaving up our dyed to order colours of 2025 so you can still select those- they will be deleted as the month ends in 2026.
