This colourway is a beautifully layered mix of soft yet vibrant tones, shifting across a spectrum that feels both earthy and floral. At its base, you’ll find gentle dusky mauves, smoky lavenders, and slate greys, overlaid with flashes of warm ochre, rust, and soft terracotta. Occasional bursts of pinks—from rose to magenta—add brightness and life, while cooler hues like pale teal and bluish-grey provide balance.
The overall effect is one of complex harmony: organic, painterly, and full of quiet movement. It evokes the colours of dried eucalyptus leaves, rusted bark, and fading wildflowers after rain—distinctly Australian in mood and tone. The colour is variegated across each skein, creating interest and variation in the fabric when knitted or crocheted.
Perfect alone or combined with the other colours ..
Fibre Information
4 ply, sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres
Darjeeling yarn: 80% Merino, 20% 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!)
