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 Cloud Lace, the baby alpaca halo diffuses the sage into something soft and atmospheric. The colour does not sit sharp on this base. It breathes. The yak component adds quiet depth beneath the surface, and together the fibres create a warmth that contradicts the coolness of the colour. Wind Over Water on Cloud is morning mist at the treeline. 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.
