Hot Poker ooak - 4ply/f - silk/merino yarn - Jasmine 4

Hot Poker

Hot Poker is a colour that refuses to sit quietly. Inspired by the fiery blooms of the red hot poker plant, it blazes with intense shades of scarlet, crimson, and flame orange. The overall impression is a vivid, saturated red, while flashes of glowing orange emerge through the skein like tongues of fire dancing between glowing embers.

There is a sense of movement throughout the colourway, with warmer orange highlights breaking through the rich red base to create depth and energy. Bold and confident, Hot Poker brings warmth and drama to any project, making it an excellent choice for statement shawls, eye-catching accessories, and garments that demand attention.

Jasmine 4 Ply – Merino Silk (Non-Superwash)

Jasmine 4 Ply is a beautifully balanced blend of 50% merino and 50% silk, offering softness, strength and a gentle natural sheen. This base is non-superwash, giving the finished fabric a more organic feel with lovely structure and excellent stitch definition.

At 400 metres per 100 grams, Jasmine 4 Ply is ideal for garments, shawls and fine accessories where drape and lightness matter. The silk content lends a subtle glow and fluid movement, while the merino provides warmth and elasticity for comfortable wear.

Suggested needle size: 2.75mm – 3.25mm
Gauge: Approximately 28–32 stitches per 10cm (depending on tension and project)

It is beautiful worked alone for a smooth, polished fabric, and pairs effortlessly with our mohair and silk base, Shui Yun, if you wish to add a soft halo and extra dimension.

Care Instructions:
Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool wash. Do not wring. Roll in a towel to remove excess moisture and lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight.

Jasmine 4 Ply is an elegant, versatile base that allows colour and craftsmanship to take centre stage.
