Pearl Fingering · Ember Tide
A glass of red wine at the end of a west coast evening. The kind of moment that doesn’t need explaining. Water catching the last light, something warm in your hand, nowhere else to be.
Ember Tide is that red.
On Pearl Fingering, the deep natural colour of the yak fibre transforms the dye from the inside. What reads as ruby red on lighter bases becomes something richer and more complex here — a deep garnet with jewel-like depth, the silk catching light within the darkness. The yak and silk fibres take the dye differently, creating subtle tonal movement within the colour. It is not flat. It has interior life.
Dyed in small batches in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, using acid dyes on protein fibre. Each skein is individually hand-dyed. Tonal variation between skeins is natural and part of what makes each piece unique.

Frequently asked questions
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool wash. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or twisting. Block gently to shape if needed.
Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, so subtle variations in colour and saturation are part of the character of these yarns. For larger projects, we recommend purchasing skeins from the same dye lot where possible, noted on the label, or alternating between lots as you work for the most even result.

A Rare Find
Yak fibre is gathered from herds that live where little else can, high, cold, and remote. Combined with silk, it becomes something genuinely uncommon, a yarn as rare as the places it comes from.
Two Fibres, One Colour
Yak draws colour in, soft and matte. Silk holds it at the surface, catching light. Together in one strand, a single shade becomes many things at once, depth, shimmer, and quiet contrast.
In the Hand
Yak is downy and warm, soft against the skin without the itch of coarser wools. Silk adds a cool smoothness, a gentle slip between the fingers. Together, they’re luxurious to hold, and even better to wear.
