Neon Cuckoo Bee #3
A bright, jewel-toned colourway inspired by the shimmering blue-green brilliance of the Neon Cuckoo Bee. Deep cobalt and electric blue flow through the skein alongside rich teal and turquoise, with flashes of vivid lime and fresh leaf green adding a wonderfully lively contrast.
The colours shift and mingle rather than forming hard stripes, creating a lively, variegated effect with plenty of movement. From deep ocean blue and blue-green through to bright emerald and almost neon lime, this is a vibrant, high-energy colourway with a distinctly Australian feel.
The real Neon Cuckoo Bee is known for its striking iridescent blue and black colouring, which catches the light beautifully. (australian.museum)
Neon Cuckoo Bee #3 is a particularly colourful version of the palette, with the greens taking a more prominent role alongside those brilliant blues. It would make a wonderful statement skein for shawls, accessories or garments where you want the colour changes to do the work.

Jasmine 4 Ply – Merino Silk (Non-Superwash)
Jasmine 4 Ply is a beautifully balanced blend of 50% merino and 50% silk, offering softness, strength and a gentle natural sheen. This base is non-superwash, giving the finished fabric a more organic feel with lovely structure and excellent stitch definition.
At 400 metres per 100 grams, Jasmine 4 Ply is ideal for garments, shawls and fine accessories where drape and lightness matter. The silk content lends a subtle glow and fluid movement, while the merino provides warmth and elasticity for comfortable wear.
Suggested needle size: 2.75mm – 3.25mm
Gauge: Approximately 28–32 stitches per 10cm (depending on tension and project)
It is beautiful worked alone for a smooth, polished fabric, and pairs effortlessly with our mohair and silk base, Shui Yun, if you wish to add a soft halo and extra dimension.
Care Instructions:
Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool wash. Do not wring. Roll in a towel to remove excess moisture and lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight.
Jasmine 4 Ply is an elegant, versatile base that allows colour and craftsmanship to take centre stage.
