Hickory - Silky DK Yarn

About the colourway: Rich, warm and naturally grounded, Hickory is a deep woodland brown with gentle tonal variation that adds depth and interest. Inspired by aged wood and forest tones, it has a classic, earthy feel that’s both timeless and versatile. Perfect for everything from garments to accessories, this dependable shade works beautifully on its own or paired with brighter colours for contrast.

About the yarn base: Our Silky DK yarn is a beautifully luxurious blend of extrafine superwash merino and mulberry silk, combining softness, strength and elegant sheen in one stunning yarn base.

Extrafine merino is prized for its exceptional softness and smooth texture, while the addition of mulberry silk brings natural lustre, added strength and beautiful drape. The yarn is worsted spun from long staple fibres, producing smooth fabric with excellent stitch definition.

Silky DK absorbs dye beautifully, producing vibrant colourways that shimmer subtly in the light. The silk adds body to the yarn which helps stitches hold their shape, making it ideal for both textured and lace projects.
