Arrakeen Sunset - Perlucidus Kid Silk Lace (100)The colour story: This is one of the anchor colourways from the Dune collection. Named for the desert sunset landscape described outside of the city of Arrakeen of pale ochre dunes, soft teal and rich reds from the lengthening shadows before moonrise. As with all hand made things, there is always some variation between skeins even within dyelots. If you plan to make a larger project, blend your skeins through transition rows. The yarn story:

deep brown

I did live in the East Neuk of Fife for several years when I was younger so I know the smell and moods of the North Sea but never *that* harbour

Truthfully

Cinnabar is a nod to that warm rust stone that was so influential (and toxic) and brought lush colour to our forebears

This yarn echoes the flowers in being a solid hot orange with deep dark chocolate speckles lightly applied as though on the throat of the flower

wine and a deep pine green speckled with black

Cinnabar is a stone (mercury sulfide) that is a rich rusty red that was once used to create pigments for painting beautiful reds and russets

like this turquoise are really challenging to get exactly right

Delightfully fluffy 100% superwash merino roving ready for spinning

a goth yet festive combination of white

As with all hand-made things

this colouway is a rich turqouise with small splashes of dark charcoal or black reminiscent of shadows swimming across the bottom of a pool
