Pearl Fingering · Wind Over Water
The particular grey-green of sage at the water’s edge, when the light is soft and the tide is coming in. Not quite grey, not quite green. The colour of the air before rain on the Salish Sea.
Wind Over Water is that stillness.
On Pearl Fingering, the natural dark base of the yak fibre transforms the dye from the inside. The sage becomes something deeper and more complex here, a muted blue-green with shadow and atmosphere. The yak and silk fibres take the dye differently, creating subtle tonal movement within the colour. It is not flat. It shifts as the light shifts, the silk catching what light remains within the depth. Where lighter bases give Wind Over Water clarity, Pearl gives it atmosphere.
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. Non-superwash - handle with care

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.
Orders are typically prepared and shipped within 3-5 business days. Local pickup and delivery available for Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Errington, Coombs, and Lantzville, see details at checkout.
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.
