New Red is a richly saturated colour that sits somewhere between deep crimson and a moody garnet. In this photo, the hue shows off its complexity: a base of intense red layered with cooler, darker undertones that veer toward plum and oxblood. There’s a smooth tonal variation throughout, with subtle shifts from glowing, almost ruby reds through to areas that are shadowed with a soft brown-black.
It’s not a flashy red—there’s no brightness or cherry in sight. Instead, this is a red that’s grounded and earthy, with a sense of depth and quiet strength. The silk content of the yarn (as visible in the photo) adds a low, elegant sheen, which enhances the dimensionality of the dye work. In natural light, New Red leans warm and sophisticated, while in lower light it can appear darker and more mysterious, with hints of mahogany and wine.
Osmanthus 8 Yarn:
250m/100gms - 50% Merino, 50% silk, 8 ply DK yarn, singles construction
Osmanthus yarn is a luxurious and exquisite blend of fibres, combining the beauty and strength of silk with the softness and warmth of merino wool. This particular variant of Osmanthus yarn is crafted as a single ply, meaning it consists of a single strand of yarn twisted together.
The composition of this Osmanthus yarn is comprised of 50% silk and 50% merino wool. Silk, known for its lustrous and smooth characteristics, brings a touch of elegance and sheen to the yarn. It lends a subtle shimmer and a delicate drape to the finished fabric.
