Midnight is a deep, saturated navy that carries a subtle undercurrent of teal, giving it a cool, velvety richness. In certain lights, the teal undertone becomes more apparent, adding dimension and lift to what could otherwise be a flat dark blue. It's moody and intense, yet not stark—an elegant, versatile shade that pairs beautifully with both warm and cool tones. Midnight makes a striking contrast to lighter hues like silver, soft greys, or pale greens, and holds its own alongside rich jewel tones or earthy neutrals. Complex and quietly bold, it’s a colour that brings depth to any palette.
The Yarn
Gyrokuro is a luminous, lightly textured yarn with a fine, elegant drape and a quiet touch of sparkle. Spun from 64% kid mohair and 23% silk, it carries a soft halo that diffuses colour beautifully, while 3% superwash merino adds just enough structure to keep stitches defined. A delicate thread of sequins (10%) catches the light in a gentle, understated way—more glimmer than glitter.
At 300 metres per 50g skein, Gyrokuro sits in the 3 ply/heavy lace range, making it ideal for airy shawls, refined garments, and layering pieces that benefit from both softness and movement. It pairs effortlessly with other yarns—held double, it adds a fine halo and that signature subtle sparkle without overwhelming the base yarn—while still standing beautifully on its own when you want a fabric that feels light, fluid, and quietly striking.
This is a yarn for pieces that shift with the light and reward a closer look.
