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 Cloud Lace, Evening Heather arrives as two distinct colours. A delicate rose strand at the heart, embraced by a halo of alpaca. Deepening it toward indigo, toward dusk. Catch it in the right light and the contrast reveals itself – rose and indigo, each holding its own, quietly astonishing. At a distance the whole thing softens into something luminous and atmospheric, the way dusk holds both warmth and coolness before one finally wins. Cloud Lace is a blend of 42% baby alpaca, 35% silk, 13% merino, and 10% yak, spun to a fine lace weight. The baby alpaca gives this base its extraordinary characteristic halo, soft and diffused, almost atmospheric. The silk adds a subtle sheen and drape; the yak contributes depth and resilience beneath the surface. At lace weight the skein is light in the hand and generous in yardage, suited to delicate shawls and layering pieces. 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. 42% Baby Alpaca / 35% Silk / 13% Merino / 10% Yak . 50g . 400m (437 yards) . Lace weight Lot 1.
