New Red is a rich, sophisticated red with beautiful depth and subtle tonal variation. Layers of cherry, garnet and blackened crimson flow through the skein, creating a softly variegated colourway that catches the light with hints of berry and burgundy. Deep and moody without feeling heavy, it brings warmth and character to every stitch. The gentle shifts in tone add movement to lace, cables and textured patterns, while stocking stitch showcases its velvety richness. Whether knitted into a shawl, garment or accessory, New Red is a timeless colour that pairs effortlessly with neutrals, pinks, charcoal and soft greys.

Jasmine 8 Ply DK – Merino Silk

Jasmine 8 Ply is a beautiful blend of 50% superwash merino and 50% silk, combining the softness and elasticity of merino with the natural lustre and drape of silk. This DK weight version has a slightly tighter twist than our 4 Ply Jasmine, giving it excellent stitch definition and a smooth, even fabric.

At 212 metres per 100 grams, Jasmine 8 Ply is a versatile yarn for garments and accessories. It is particularly well suited to sweaters, cardigans, shawls, cowls, hats and other projects where you want a soft fabric with good drape and definition. The tighter twist also makes it a lovely choice for textured stitches, cables and colourwork.

Jasmine 8 Ply can be knitted on its own or paired with our Shui Yun mohair and silk to add a soft halo and extra dimension to your project.

Care

Although the merino is superwash treated, we recommend gentle hand washing in cool water with a wool wash to help preserve the silk, hand-dyed colours and overall beauty of the yarn. Do not wring or agitate. Gently squeeze out excess water, roll in a towel and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
