Winkle is not really the colour of an actual winkle. Apologies. It's more the colour of what a winkle wants to be.
It's a light-mid-toned lilac, with pretty pink undertones. This colour has a fair bit of tonal variegation.
Kelpie is a fabulous yarn - soft superwash merino - which takes dye like a dream, combined with natural linen - which doesn't take dye at all! The result is a tweedy blended look, adding depth and interest to any colour.
This yarn is great for garments and accessories, and showcasing cables!
All skeins in this listing are from the same batch. Some colourways have many dye processes, which means each skein is a little different! I strongly recommend alternating skeins when knitting a larger item.
