Mermaid Tales - Silky DK Yarn

About the colourway: Mermaid Tales is a whimsical blend of shimmering turquoise, soft seafoam, silvery grey and delicate blush pink, inspired by the enchanting stories and legends of mythical mermaids. Like pages from a well-loved fairy tale, its flowing colours evoke hidden lagoons, forgotten treasures and magical adventures beneath the waves. Dreamy, elegant and full of imagination, Mermaid Tales is perfect for shawls, garments and accessories where every stitch helps tell a story.

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.
