Before Dawn ooak on Anise 2 - silk and linen 2 ply

Before Dawn, a luxurious hue of a soft, cool purple, embodies the essence of elegance and refinement. Like the first light of day breaking over a tranquil landscape, this shade exudes a sense of calm sophistication, making it a perfect choice for creating exquisite, and beautiful knitted creations.

Subtle tonal variations can be seen throughout the skeins, creating a gentle heathered effect. This unique appearance is a result of the linen fibres, which resist the dyes, giving the yarn a charming, textured look.

Yarn Information 

Anise - I had looked for a 4 ply silk and linen yarn for a long time and after trialling one from Canada and not being pleased with the cost and the quality I had this new yarn milled especially for me from my usual silk mill in Switzerland. It has a beautiful sheen and light summer texture - perfect for summer tops and shawls. The two ply has been plied with itself to make the 4 ply.

Hand wash in luke warm water - some colour bleeding may occur but it should effect the main colour.
