Cardabia Station on Tai Ping... 100% bourette silk - 4 ply

Cardabia Station is a quietly complex colour that sits somewhere between cool and warm, sea and earth. The base is a muted teal—soft, subdued, and gently weathered—like the faded greens of desert scrub under an open sky. Woven through is a whisper of pecan brown, adding depth and grounding the colour in something distinctly Australian and earthy. The result is a shade that feels both natural and timeless, with just enough warmth to soften the coolness of the teal. It’s the kind of colour you might find in a shadowed rock pool or the patina of aged copper. On yarn, it reveals tonal variations that shift subtly between slate, eucalyptus, and warm brown, creating movement and interest in every stitch. Cardabia Station works beautifully on its own or as part of a palette inspired by landscape and memory—ideal for garments, accessories, or statement pieces with a quiet, grounded strength.

Fibre

Tai Ping is a luxurious new yarn base made from 100% Bourette silk, spun into a heavy 4 ply with a distinctively tactile finish. At 360 metres per 100 grams, Tai Ping offers generous yardage for its weight, making it ideal for garments and accessories that require both softness and structure.

Unlike traditional silk yarns, Tai Ping has no shine—instead, it carries a gentle matte finish that’s reminiscent of suede. The surface has a slightly nubby texture, creating beautiful depth and subtle tonal variation when dyed. The fabric it creates is soft against the skin, yet has a dry, substantial hand that drapes with quiet elegance.

Tai Ping is perfect for stitch definition, bringing out the details in cables, lace, or textured patterns. It's a yarn that celebrates natural character and quiet strength—ideal for those who love silk but want something more grounded, earthy, and wearable year-round.
