Rose Blush Fade - mohair/silk/sequins - Gyrokuro 3ply

Rose Blush Fade on Gyrokuro

A soft-to-vibrant progression of pinks in this oh so pretty 3 skein sparkly fade. Rose Blush moves from the palest blush pink through rosy pinks to a vivid, hot pink at the deepest end. Dyed on our fluffy Gyrokuro mohair and silk, the colours have a lovely hazy quality, with the fine fibres allowing each shade to blend beautifully as it moves through the fade. Tiny sequins catch the light amongst the fibres, adding a subtle sparkle without taking away from the colour. A pretty choice for shawls, wraps and lightweight accessories, this fade would also work beautifully as a gentle contrast against deeper pinks, reds or purples.

Gyrokuro

3 ply / Heavy Laceweight
300m / 50g
64% Kid Mohair · 23% Silk · 3% Superwash Merino · 10% Sequins

Gyrokuro is a soft, airy mohair and silk yarn with a beautiful, understated sparkle. The kid mohair creates a fine, soft halo, while silk adds drape and smoothness. Small sequins are spun through the yarn to give a subtle glimmer that catches the light without becoming overly sparkly.

At 300 metres per 50g, Gyrokuro is a 3 ply / heavy laceweight yarn. It can be knitted or crocheted on its own for light, airy fabrics, but it is particularly lovely carried along with another yarn. Used this way, Gyrokuro adds a soft mohair halo, a little extra dimension and its characteristic subtle sparkle, without obscuring the colour or character of the companion yarn.

It works especially well with 4 ply/fingering and sportweight yarns, adding interest to simple stitches as well as more textured designs. Try it with a smooth merino, silk or wool blend when you want to introduce a little softness and sparkle without changing the overall character of the project too dramatically.
