Knit for the Girls – 6 Skein Mini Set in Osmanthus

A reworking of last year’s Knit for the Girls colourway, this six-skein set returns in Osmanthus, giving the fade a beautiful new character.

The colour moves from deep, rich plum and berry through vibrant purple, softer mauve and dusty rose, finishing with a pale blush pink. Each shade blends naturally into the next, creating a gentle progression from the deepest purple to the lightest pink.

Knit for the Girls is a fundraising project bringing together Australian independent yarn dyers to raise money for breast cancer research. 20% of the sale price of this set will be donated to breast cancer research in Australia.

The six mini skeins are ideal for adding colour to shawls, wraps, sweaters and accessories, or for combining with a larger skein as contrast or accent colours.

A lovely little fade, with enough depth and variation to make each shade stand out while still working beautifully as a set.

Osmanthus – 4 Ply Merino Silk Singles

Osmanthus is a beautifully soft singles yarn that combines the elasticity of fine merino with the subtle sheen and drape of silk. The single-ply construction allows colours to bloom with gentle tonal variation, creating a fabric with depth and a softly organic appearance.

This yarn is ideal for shawls, lightweight garments, scarves and accessories where drape and colour are the focus. The silk adds a gentle lustre while the merino provides softness against the skin, making Osmanthus a pleasure to knit and wear.

As every skein is hand dyed in small batches, each one is unique. If your project requires more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows for an even distribution of colour.

To keep your finished project looking its best, hand wash in cool water using a wool wash, gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat away from direct sunlight.
