Samite Silk DK, Blacker Yarns

To make this woollen spun yarn we blended smooth drapey Blue-Faced Leicester, with the bouncy froth of Shetland and the guilt-free luxurious recycled silk. This combination of pale and dark fibres creates a yarn with glorious depth of colour and delicate nepps of silk. Because it is woollen spun, Samite retains the characteristic bounce of Shetland, and is more durable than the standard silk blend, marking it ideal for colourwork, cables and texture.

The full colour palette was inspired by characters from the Arthurian Legend.

Colour: Grey

This is a warm, organic shade that walks the line between a soft taupe, oatmeal, and a weathered pebble grey. It has subtle natural undertones—hints of raw wool and flax—giving it an inviting, rustic heathered look that feels both classic and effortlessly grounded.
