Uniting a mix of fibers with a single color palette, the subtle variegation of this yarn creates a stunning ebb and flow of color with natural shadows and highlights. A simple-to-knit shawl lets the beautiful yarn take center stage.

At the conclusion of the first Interweave Yarn Fest in 2015, Benjamin looked at his fresh haul and noticed a color theme: sunny yellow Tencel, a lovely braid of a forest green Merino/ silk blend, and a springy green silk sliver. Pulling some “green flash” (holographic synthetic fiber) from his stash, he was ready to blend.
