The Mermaids Tale fade : Jasmine 4 merino/silk

Mermaid’s Tale is a softly shifting fade inspired by sea-worn treasures and quiet coastal waters. Pale seafoam and misty aqua drift through the skeins, blending into muted sage, weathered olive, and touches of warm sand. The colours ebb and flow gently, creating the impression of sunlight filtering through shallow water onto a rocky shoreline.

Subtle variations of green and blue-grey weave throughout the fade, while hints of golden driftwood and coastal grasses add warmth and depth. The overall palette feels calm and organic, with the softly aged tones of a landscape shaped by wind, salt, and tide.

Worked together, the fade creates a seamless transition from light to dark, making it ideal for shawls, garments, and accessories where the gradual movement of colour can take centre stage. Mermaid’s Tale captures the quieter side of the ocean—its hidden coves, tangled seaweed, and the treasures left behind after the tide has slipped away.

A set of three full skeins in our beautiful soft merino silk 4 ply yarn called Jasmine.

Jasmine 4 Ply – Silk & Merino

Jasmine is a beautifully soft blend of fine merino and silk, combining the warmth and elasticity of wool with the smooth drape and gentle sheen of silk. The silk content lends a subtle glow to the finished fabric, allowing hand-dyed colours to develop depth and richness while remaining elegant and wearable.

At 400 metres per 100 gram skein, Jasmine is a versatile 4 ply/fingering weight yarn suited to a wide range of projects. It is particularly lovely for shawls, wraps, lightweight garments, cardigans, sweaters, cowls and special accessories where drape and stitch definition are desired. The yarn blooms gently after washing, creating fabric that is soft against the skin while retaining excellent stitch clarity for lace, textured stitches and simple stockinette alike.

Care Instructions
To keep your finished project looking its best, hand wash in cool water using a wool-safe detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, then lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. As with all hand-dyed yarns, colours may vary between dye lots, and occasional colour bleeding may occur during the first wash.

Jasmine is a yarn that balances softness, drape and durability, making it a favourite choice for knitters and crocheters seeking beautiful fabric with a touch of silk luxury.
