Roseate Emperor Moth #1
This colour sits just a breath away from true black. Deep and velvety, it carries the density and richness of shadow at midnight—almost absolute, but with the faintest hint of softness that sets it apart from a stark, flat black. In certain lights, a trace of warmth may flicker through, like the sheen on a moth’s wing or the glow of charcoal not yet gone cold. This near-black brings depth and drama, offering a grounding note in any project. It's the kind of dark that enhances other colours around it—quiet, potent, and undeniably bold.
Osmanthus – 4 Ply Merino Silk Singles
Osmanthus is a beautifully soft singles yarn that combines the elasticity of fine merino with the subtle sheen and drape of silk. The single-ply construction allows colours to bloom with gentle tonal variation, creating a fabric with depth and a softly organic appearance.
This yarn is ideal for shawls, lightweight garments, scarves and accessories where drape and colour are the focus. The silk adds a gentle lustre while the merino provides softness against the skin, making Osmanthus a pleasure to knit and wear.

As every skein is hand dyed in small batches, each one is unique. If your project requires more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows for an even distribution of colour.
To keep your finished project looking its best, hand wash in cool water using a wool wash, gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat away from direct sunlight.
