Burnished Copper on rustic Corriedale is rich, grounded and full of warmth. The colour settles into the wool with a mellow, earthen depth — a blend of toasted ochre, antique gold and glowing copper tones. Deeper flashes of embered rust drift through the skeins, creating natural movement and subtle variation.
The slightly toothy, matte character of Corriedale softens the metallic feel of the shade, giving it a weathered, organic quality. It feels like sun-dried paddocks, eucalyptus bark and aged farm tools warmed by late afternoon light. There is strength in it — a quiet confidence — balanced by warmth and approachability.
The tonal shifts will come alive in textured stitches, cables and simple stockinette alike, offering depth without overpowering. Burnished Copper is earthy, strong and enduring — a colour that feels both timeless and distinctly Australian in spirit.
