Pearl Fingering · Evening Heather
The light on the hills above the bay, late in the season, when the heather is past its peak and the colour has deepened into something between bloom and dusk. Not bright. Settled. The particular violet of the hour before dark, when the sky still holds colour but the day has already let go.
Evening Heather holds both. Neither cool nor warm, it carries the blue of the sky and the red of the earth. Somewhere between treeline and tide.
On Pearl Fingering, the dark yak base draws Evening Heather inward, deepening the violet toward something richer than the colour alone can account for. The yak and silk hold the dye differently – the silk embracing the violet with quiet luminosity, the yak, depth and shadow. Turn the skein in your hands and the colour shifts, not with the light, but within it. The same purple. Never quite the same twice.
Pearl Fingering is a 50/50 blend of yak and silk, spun to a fine fingering weight. The natural dark base of the yak gives every colour a jewel-like quality, rich and quietly luminous. The silk contributes drape and a gentle sheen that catches light with every movement. At 50 grams and 200 metres this is a concentrated luxury, small in the hand, extraordinary in the making.
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.

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.
