Dashing Fingering - Cinnabar

Please note the shipping date for this product is the 26th April 2024.

The Colour

Inspired by the startlingly bright mineral yielded from volcanic earth. Cinnabar has rich cultural traditions of being used as pigment in Chinese painting and calligraphy. In our interpretation of this the deepest red blooms across the yarn, giving way to warm beige and subtle speckles, mirroring the page of an old master putting brush to paper.
