The silent elegance of English roses.
This set of 5 mini-skeins is an ode to delicacy. Moving away from classic bright reds, this palette explores the most poetic and "dusty" shades of winter gardens: from pale peach to antique pinks, reaching a very delicate mauve that whispers of nostalgia. It is a colorway designed for those who love "quiet" colors, capable of infusing a sense of calm and harmony into every stitch.
Technical Details & Yarn Bases:
The set includes 5 mini-skeins of 20g each (100g total). Choose the base that best fits your project:
-
Merino Sock Base (Merino + Nylon): 75% Wool - Merino / 25% Nylon | approx. 425m per 100g (85m per mini).
-
Durable and versatile. Perfect for precious socks, long-lasting accessories, or garments that require structure. The crispness of the fiber makes the delicate peach and mauve tones pop with clarity.
-
-
Soft Merino Base (100% non superwash Merino Wool - 21 micron): approx. 400m per 100g (80m per mini).
-
Our softest base, featuring extra-fine fibers. Ideal for "next-to-skin" projects like cowls, shawls, or garments for sensitive skin. These romantic shades look almost ethereal on this base, thanks to its sweet handle and fluid drape.
-
-
Highland Base (100% non superwash Peruvian Wool - 27 micron): approx. 420m per 100g (84m per mini).
-
An authentic, "rustic" feel. This structured and "toothy" fiber provides excellent stitch definition. I highly recommend it for colorwork, structured hats, or textured shawls where you want the botanical hues to feel grounded and earthy.

Note on Hand-Dyeing
Each skein is individually hand-dyed in small batches. Slight variations in tone are the hallmark of an artistic process, ensuring your project is truly one-of-a-kind.
A note from the Studio: The Lounge Inspiration
The Be My Valentine palette was curated to integrate seamlessly with the spirit of the upcoming Lounge Collection. I imagine these colors as delicate accents for the Light version of my new hat pattern (coming in the following weeks), or as a soft, slow-knitted gradient for a shawl that celebrates mindfulness. Whether you choose the rustic warmth of the Peruvian wool or the silkiness of the Merino, these shades are an invitation to slow down.
