Cabled Merino DK · 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 Cabled Merino DK, the eight-ply cabled construction gives the colour a rounded, structured quality. Burnished Shores reads warm and grounded here, the copper settling into something solid and confident. The denser twist of the cabled yarn catches light differently than a standard plied base, giving the colour subtle dimension within each stitch.
Cabled Merino DK is 100% superwash 22.5-micron merino, spun to an eight-ply cabled construction at DK weight. The cabled structure gives this yarn exceptional stitch definition and a rounded, rope-like character that distinguishes it from standard plied merino. At 22.5 microns it is slightly less fine than the Superfine Merino bases, with a correspondingly more resilient and structured hand. A workhorse yarn with genuine quality.
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.
