Opal 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 Opal Fingering, the naturally warm camel base lets the colour speak at full volume. Starting from a golden wheat tone, the fibre brings its own warmth to Ember Tide, deepening the red with a richness that a cooler base cannot offer. The silk gives it a natural sheen that catches light with every movement. But the colour is only part of the story. Baby camel and silk together produce a softness that has no equivalent in the range, smooth rather than springy, with a natural warmth that merino cannot replicate. It is the kind of yarn that changes what you thought you knew about hand feel.
At 533 metres per 100g skein, this base offers exceptional yardage for its weight - enough for generous shawls and lightweight garments from a single or paired skein.

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 Luxury
Camel fibre is gathered from herds that roam vast, windswept landscapes, built for extremes of heat and cold. Combined with silk, it becomes a yarn as rare as the places it comes from
A Golden Glow
Camel carries its own warmth, a soft, golden undertone that colours settle into. Where yak might cool a shade, camel gives it a gentle glow, warming every colour it touches toward something rich and sun-warmed.
In the Hand
Camel is exceptionally soft, finer and gentler than most wools, with a warmth that feels almost like cashmere. Paired with silk’s smooth slip, this is a yarn that feels as luxurious as it looks.
