Slate Grey OOAK
Slate Grey OOAK is a deep, smoky slate grey with subtle cool lavender-blue undertones. The overall colour is firmly slate grey, with the beautiful sheen of the silk revealing soft shifts into charcoal, blue-grey and the faintest muted violet as the yarn catches the light. It has a dusky, slightly weathered quality that gives the colour depth and character without feeling heavy or stark.
A wonderfully versatile grey, Slate Grey OOAK works beautifully as a neutral but has enough colour variation to make it more interesting than a traditional charcoal. It would pair particularly well with soft lavender, dusty blue, silver, faded denim, charcoal and other cool, muted shades.
Dyed as a one-of-a-kind colourway, there is only this one skein available, making this a lovely choice for a special shawl, or luxurious accessory.
