Collection: Aurum Merino/Silk 8ply/DK
Aurum is a luminous DK-weight yarn that blends the softness of fine merino with the subtle sheen of mulberry silk. The silk catches the light beautifully, giving hand-dyed colourways depth, richness, and an almost metallic glow.
Soft against the skin with elegant drape and stitch definition, Aurum is perfect for sweaters, shawls, accessories, and special projects where you want a touch of luxury without sacrificing everyday wearability.
This base takes dye exceptionally well, creating layered tonals, glowing semisolids, and rich variegated colourways with beautiful depth.

Each skein is hand dyed in small batches by Cow Cat Creations. While great care is taken to achieve consistency, variations between skeins are part of the unique beauty of hand-dyed yarn.
For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins to ensure a smooth colour transition.
