This is the colourway for anyone who's ever looked up at that particular shade of sky you get just after sunset, when the light is almost gone but the colour is still hanging on. Soft lilac and dusty mauve shift through the skein, punctuated by deeper plum and scattered black speckles that give it an edge you wouldn't expect from something so dreamy.
It's romantic without being saccharine. The tonal variation keeps it interesting, with paler blush sections breaking through the deeper purple in a way that feels natural rather than contrived. Every skein will knit up a little differently, which is half the appeal.
100% merino wool, hand-dyed with care. The finer ply on this one means it really rewards more delicate projects, lacy shawls, lightweight cowls, or anything where you want the colour to breathe. That said, it would be just as happy in a simple stockinette project where the shifting tones can really shine.
Lilac Skies is one of those skeins that's genuinely hard to put down once you've picked it up.
