Moonlit - 4 ply Tussah silk singles - Sulkazura

Moonlit is a very pale, whisper-soft purple with a cool, silvery cast. It sits right on the edge between lavender and grey, like violet light diluted by moon glow. Subtle blue undertones keep it fresh and calm rather than sweet, giving it an airy, almost frosted quality. In brighter light it reads as a clean, light lavender; in softer light it settles into a gentle pearl-grey lilac. Elegant and restrained, this is a colour that lets texture and stitch work shine while adding just a quiet hint of purple magic.

Sulkazura – 4 Ply Tussah Silk

Sulkazura is a distinctive 4 ply yarn spun from 100% tussah silk, celebrating the raw, organic nature of this beautiful fibre. Unlike smooth cultivated silk, tussah silk retains a gently rustic texture with visible character throughout the strand, giving your knitting and crochet a sense of depth and movement.

Despite its earthy feel, Sulkazura carries a soft, understated sheen that catches the light in a quiet, elegant way. The yarn has a pleasing substance in the hand, feeling slightly bulky for a 4 ply, which makes it especially satisfying to work with and ideal for projects where texture matters.

At 400 metres per 100 grams, Sulkazura offers generous yardage, and most skeins are slightly overweight, giving you a little extra silk to play with. It works beautifully for shawls, wraps, textured garments, and statement accessories where stitch definition and drape can really shine.
