John has only played around with this base a couple of times. It has a linen feel to the hand but with some lustre from the silk, in an ivory-beige shade. A good choice for summer shawls or other non-wool lace projects. The natural colour is a greyed ivory.
Fibre reactive dyes might be the best choice for this yarn, but we’ve also tried acid dyes with good results. Just bear in mind that the linen component will not strike with the dye, so copious rinsing will have to be done. We found this needs a couple of days to hang and dry thoroughly before reskeining or winding, or it has a tendency to snag on the swift and break.

Lace Time – Twilight Brocade
We are very proud of this colourway, which pushes the limits of what is possible with kettle dyeing. Flashes of rose, salmon, green-gold, pale blue, sage-green and rusty-wine are all brought together on one yarn. Semi-repeating but unpredictably random at the same time.
