It exudes a sense of calm and tranquility, with a subtle hint of coolness that sets it apart from warmer pink tones. This hue is soft and gentle, like the petals of a pale pink rose, yet carries a unique, almost elusive quality that adds depth and complexity to its beauty. Pale Dragon is a sophisticated and elegant colour, perfect for creating a serene and soothing atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRooibos – Mohair \u0026amp; Silk 5 Ply Yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooibos is an unusual luxury yarn combining the soft halo of mohair with the lustre and fluid drape of silk. A small amount of nylon adds strength and stability while allowing the beauty of the natural fibres to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 69% silk, Rooibos has a smooth feel, gentle sheen and beautiful movement. The 22% mohair creates a soft bloom around the yarn without the very light, airy structure usually associated with laceweight mohair yarns. The result is a more substantial yarn with texture, depth and a softly diffused finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning at 350 metres per 100g, Rooibos sits within the 5 ply or sport-weight range, although its generous metreage makes it suitable for projects where a lighter fabric is preferred. It can be worked on its own to create flowing shawls, lightweight garments and accessories, with the silk providing drape and the mohair adding softness and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooibos may also be held together with another yarn to introduce a subtle halo, additional depth and a touch of silk lustre. As with all yarns containing mohair, the finished fabric will soften and bloom after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach colour is hand dyed in small batches. Variations between skeins are part of the nature of hand-dyed yarn, and alternating skeins is recommended when working on larger projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFibre:\u003c\/strong\u003e 69% Silk, 22% Mohair, 9% Nylon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 ply \/ Sport weight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350 metres per 100g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mohair, silk and nylon blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested projects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shawls, lightweight sweaters, cardigans, wraps and accessories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool wash.
