This shade balances the freshness of blue with a touch of soft green, creating a color that feels both airy and refreshing. Gentle yet vibrant, it captures the essence of sunlit lagoons, where the water glows with a dreamy translucence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pastel nature of Turquoise Bay gives it a light, breezy quality, making it feel soothing and effortless. It brings to mind the way shallow waters shift in color as sunlight dances across the surface, revealing delicate gradients of blue and green. There’s a softness to this hue, a quiet elegance that makes it versatile and timeless.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurquoise Bay works beautifully in any setting that calls for a touch of tranquility, whether paired with sandy neutrals for a beach-inspired look or contrasted with deeper blues for a more dramatic effect. It’s a color that speaks of summer days, gentle waves, and a sense of peaceful escape. Whether in yarn, fabric, or paint, it carries with it the essence of nature’s most serene and inviting waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bit paler than the photo ... \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePekoe 4 Ply – 100% Mulberry Silk Yarn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePekoe is a beautifully smooth 4 ply\/fingering-weight yarn spun from 100% mulberry silk. With 400 metres per 100g skein, it has the familiar yardage of a traditional 4 ply yarn while offering the lustre, drape and distinctive character of pure silk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a spun silk yarn, Pekoe has a soft, gently textured handle rather than the very sleek finish of a filament silk. The spun fibres give the yarn a little more body and grip while retaining the natural sheen and fluid drape associated with mulberry silk. Colours appear rich and luminous across the surface of the yarn, with subtle variations adding depth to the finished fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePekoe is well suited to shawls, wraps, lightweight garments and accessories where drape and colour are important.
