Midnight - mohair/silk/sequins - Gyrokuro 3ply

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.

Gyrokuro

3 ply / Heavy Laceweight
300m / 50g
64% Kid Mohair · 23% Silk · 3% Superwash Merino · 10% Sequins

Gyrokuro 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.

At 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 carried along with another yarn. 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.

It works especially well with 4 ply/fingering and sportweight yarns, adding interest to simple stitches as well as more textured designs. Try it with a smooth merino, silk or wool blend when you want to introduce a little softness and sparkle without changing the overall character of the project too dramatically.
