Pale Gold - 4 ply merino/nylon sock yarn - Darjeeling

Pale Gold is a soft, wheaten pastel with a gentle warmth, touched by a whisper of apricot. This delicate shade exudes quiet elegance, offering a subtle glow that makes it an effortlessly versatile neutral. Its warmth is understated yet present, reminiscent of golden grains ripening under soft morning light or the muted sheen of antique silk.

With its refined balance of warmth and softness, Pale Gold pairs beautifully with both earthy tones and cooler hues, making it a perfect choice for a range of projects. It has a timeless quality, evoking natural elements like sun-bleached straw, fine parchment, or the golden undertones of aged linen. This color works equally well in creating a soft, sophisticated palette or adding a gentle contrast to deeper, more dramatic shades.

Tonal variation throughout the skeins.

Weight and Length

4 ply, sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres

Fibre

Darjeeling yarn: 85% Merino, 15% Nylon

Beautifully soft and just the right amount of nylon for a pair of socks. This also makes a gorgeous shawl or other wearable object.

It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to lukewarm water with a wool wash to prevent dissociating. Slight bleeding may occur but should not affect the final colour. The merino is superwash but the dyes not. (However, I'm not hand washing my socks so there!)
