It shifts between dusty lilac, cool lavender and muted violet, creating a softly variegated colour with plenty of tonal depth. Lighter areas blend into richer purple tones rather than creating strong contrasts, giving the colour a gentle, harmonious appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a quiet, romantic quality to Lilac Dusk without it feeling overly sweet. It pairs beautifully with other soft pastels, as well as greys, charcoal, deeper purples and blues. A versatile colour for shawls, garments and accessories where its subtle tonal variations can really shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGyrokuro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 ply \/ Heavy Laceweight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e300m \/ 50g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e64% Kid Mohair · 23% Silk · 3% Superwash Merino · 10% Sequins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGyrokuro is a soft, airy mohair and silk yarn with a beautiful, understated sparkle. The kid mohair creates a fine, soft halo, while silk adds drape and smoothness. Small sequins are spun through the yarn to give a subtle glimmer that catches the light without becoming overly sparkly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 300 metres per 50g, Gyrokuro is a 3 ply \/ heavy laceweight yarn. It can be knitted or crocheted on its own for light, airy fabrics, but it is particularly lovely \u003cstrong\u003ecarried along with another yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e. Used this way, Gyrokuro adds a soft mohair halo, a little extra dimension and its characteristic subtle sparkle, without obscuring the colour or character of the companion yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works especially well with 4 ply\/fingering and sportweight yarns, adding interest to simple stitches as well as more textured designs.
