Description
Soft, muted rose pink naturally dyed with madder root – not bright bubblegum, not pale pastel, but a sophisticated dusty rose with subtle mauve undertones. This is the kind of pink that feels both vintage and modern, the color of old roses and faded textiles.
We achieve this dusty, muted quality through careful control of the madder dyebath – using alkaline modifiers to shift toward pink tones while keeping the color soft and sophisticated. The result is a versatile rose that works year-round.
This fingering weight is perfect for projects that need a pink with presence but not overwhelm – sophisticated socks, romantic shawls, baby items that won’t feel overly precious, or everyday accessories.
Fibers: 80% superwash merino and 20% recycled nylon |
The dusty quality means it pairs beautifully with other colors – works with grays, creams, deeper purples, and even greens. Not your typical pink.
Perfect for:
- Sophisticated socks that work year-round
- Romantic but not overly sweet shawls
- Baby items with vintage charm
- Everyday accessories
- Colorwork accents
Why Dusty Rose?
- Sophisticated pink that works for adults
- Soft enough for babies without being juvenile
- Year-round wearability
- Pairs beautifully with other colors
- Vintage aesthetic with modern appeal
Yarn that says “I love you” in every stitch.
