Shimmer Fingering · Burnished Shores
The shore at low tide, late afternoon, when the wet sand catches the light and holds it. Warm, grounded, the particular orange-gold of a place shaped by water and weather.
Burnished Shores is that light. Named for the coast, coloured like copper, it reads differently in every room you carry it into.
On Shimmer Fingering, a thread of gold lurex runs through the merino and cashmere, catching light within the copper. Of all the bases, this one was made for Burnished Shores. The gold lurex and the copper colourway share the same warmth, and together they create something luminous and occasion-worthy without being decorative for its own sake.
Shimmer Fingering is a blend of 80% superwash merino, 10% extra soft cashmere, and 10% gold stellina, spun to a fingering weight. The gold lurex thread is woven through the yarn rather than sitting on the surface, giving a shimmer that is subtle and internal rather than decorative. The cashmere softens the hand; the merino provides structure and bounce. A yarn for occasions, and for the everyday moments that deserve to feel like one.
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.
