Speckled Egg - Silky 4-ply Yarn

About the colourway: Speckled Egg is a soft, playful blend of pastel pinks, lilacs, buttery yellows and fresh greens on a creamy base, finished with delicate speckles inspired by Cadbury’s Mini Eggs. Light, cheerful and full of springtime charm, it adds gentle movement and interest to every stitch.

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.
