Better than Beige - Silky 4-ply Yarn

About the colourway: Better than Beige is a soft, elevated neutral with a gentle shift between warm cream and delicate taupe. It’s understated but far from flat — a refined, wearable shade that pairs beautifully with anything while still holding its own.

About the yarn base: Our Silky 4 Ply yarn is a beautifully refined blend of 75% ultrafine superwash merino and 25% mulberry silk, combining softness, strength and elegant drape. Smooth and lightweight with a subtle sheen, this fingering weight yarn creates fabric with excellent stitch definition and a luxurious finish.

The addition of silk enhances the yarn’s strength while adding a gentle lustre, allowing stitches to hold their shape beautifully, even in more open or lacey projects. The worsted-spun construction from long staple fibres ensures clean, defined stitches, making this yarn a joy to work with.

Whether you're knitting socks, shawls or lightweight garments, Silky 4 Ply offers the perfect balance of softness, durability and drape, making it ideal for both everyday and special projects.
