Light red, reminiscent of a red brick hue, is a warm, slightly earthy colour with a gentle, subdued intensity. It embodies a soft, muted red tone, similar to the warm, comforting appearance of bricks used in construction. This shade of red exudes a sense of familiarity and warmth. Slightly reminiscent of Ming Red but redder.
One of a kind and not intended for a repeat dyeing.
Very slight tonal variation throughout the skeins - the heathered effect is dye to the linen fibres not accepting the dyes... this also gives the yarn a slightly hairy appearance.

Yarn Information
Anise - I had looked for a 4 ply silk and linen yarn for a long time and after trialling one from Canada and not being pleased with the cost and the quality I had this new yarn milled especially for me from my usual silk mill in Switzerland. It has a beautiful sheen and light summer texture - perfect for summer tops and shawls. The two ply has been plied with itself to make the 4 ply.
Hand wash in luke warm water - some colour bleeding may occur but it should effect the main colour.
