Aquarella is a refined 100% silk yarn designed for makers who love softness, drape and beautifully layered colour. This 4ply yarn is available in 100g skeins with 400 metres, offering generous meterage for garments, shawls and accessories that let the fibre and colour do the work.

Hand dyed in variegated shades inspired by watercolour painting, Aquarella moves gently from one tone to the next, creating fabric with depth, flow and quiet elegance. With a subtle sheen and a softly brushed feel, this is a silk yarn that feels expressive without being overpowering.

A Yarn with a Story

Inspired by the fluid beauty of watercolour, Aquarella captures the way colour can shift softly across a surface, never harsh, never abrupt, always layered with intention.

Each skein feels painterly in the truest sense, with delicately blended tones that create movement through even the simplest stitches. The result is fabric that feels luminous, airy and full of gentle visual interest, making Aquarella a beautiful choice for makers who appreciate colour with nuance.

Why You’ll Love It

Aquarella is the kind of yarn that brings together elegance and ease. The 100% silk base gives it beautiful drape and a soft sheen, while the hand-dyed colourways create all the detail you need without relying on complicated stitch patterns.
