Wild Orchid - Tussah silk - 2 ply - Chai

Wild Orchid

Wild Orchid is a complex shade that moves quietly between tones of purple, blue, pink and red. Its character shifts with the light: in sunlight it shows as a rich fuchsia, while in the shade it deepens to burgundy, softened by a halo of purples and reds. Subtle yet distinctive, Wild Orchid offers a depth of colour that changes with its setting, making it a thoughtful choice for projects that embrace nuance and variation.

Chai – 100% Tussah Silk

Chai is a fine 2 ply laceweight yarn spun from 100% Tussah silk, with an exceptional 1000 metres in every 100g skein. It has the natural lustre and lovely drape of silk, making it particularly well suited to lace shawls, lightweight scarves and fine garments.

The generous meterage means a single skein will go a long way, while the smooth silk fibres allow lace patterns and colour to shine.
