Silky Merino - Peach Blossom (Selestine Palette)

The Selestine Palette – A Touch of Luxury for Your Next Project

Bring Spring to Your Knitting Needles! Peach Blossom is a soft, semi-solid shade. A warm, powdery rosé-apricot hue. Very subtle and elegant – like the soft light of a spring morning. 

The Yarn: Silky Merino (Fingering)

This quality is a true all-rounder and the epitome of luxury on the skin. The blend of 50% finest merino and 50% fine mulberry silk combines the best of both worlds:

• Elegant Luster: The silk gives the yarn a beautiful, subtle shimmer.
• Dreamy Finish: After washing, the yarn "fluffs" up beautifully, the stitches lay perfectly, and the knitted fabric has an incomparable drape.
• Summer Feeling: Thanks to the cooling silk and breathable merino, it is the perfect companion for spring and summer knitting.

Technical Details & Care

• Composition: 50% virgin wool (Superwash Merino), 50% mulberry silk (Grade A)
• Yardage: approx. 400 m / 100 g 
• Yarn Weight: 4-ply (Fingering Weight)
• Gauge: approx. 25–27 sts over 10 cm (stockinette stitch, needle size 3.0-3.5 mm)
• Care: Gentle hand washing recommended.
• Note: Since I dye in small quantities by hand using acid dyes, slight variations from skein to skein are possible. Each piece is unique! For a perfectly uniform color, I recommend knitting with two skeins at the same time (switching every 1–2 rows).

Information on Dye Lots

When assembling each order, every single skein is personally checked for an optimal color match. Even if skeins from different dye lots must be combined, I pay strict attention to ensure that they harmonize visually and show no visible differences.

Since this is a semi-solid dye, the color is deliberately lively and not uniformly consistent throughout. These subtle shades give the knitted piece a special depth that goes far beyond a flat, industrial look.

To guarantee an absolutely even result without visible transitions – both when changing skeins and when combining different dye lots – I recommend alternating knitting. Working alternately with two skeins (every 1–2 rows) allows the fine nuances of the hand-dyeing to blend perfectly together.
