1 skein of Sage / Pink / Lilac / Silver. When it's gone, it's gone.
A glossy hand-painted multi from Hand Maiden Fine Yarn: soft sage and willow green pooling into rose-pink, dusty lilac, and silver-grey on the brand's silk-blend sock base. The strand reads almost wet with sheen — the signature Hand Maiden look — and the colour wanders the way only a hand-painted skein can, never repeating exactly twice along the 437 yards.
This listing is for 1 skein of Hand Maiden Fine Yarn Sea Silk in color Sage / Pink / Lilac / Silver.
About the yarn:
This is Hand Maiden's Sea Silk profile: 70% silk / 30% Seacell (a regenerated seaweed-cellulose fibre Hand Maiden helped popularise), in their standard fingering 437 yd / 100 g shape. The strand is a smooth round 2-ply, fine but not slippery, with a high-gloss silk surface and the cool weight of a true silk-blend yarn. Sea Silk drapes more than it bounces; it's the right base for a shawl that wants flow rather than for socks that want structure. The dye-style — broad multi-colour painting with a metallic shimmer — is unmistakable in person.
The skein is missing its label — Hand Maiden's most common fingering-weight silk blend at this yardage and weight. If you need an exact match for a specific base, please ask before purchase.

About Hand Maiden Fine Yarn Sea Silk:
Hand Maiden Fine Yarn is a Canadian indie studio that has been hand-dyeing silk-blend luxury yarns since the early 2000s. The studio is best known for Sea Silk — the 70/30 silk-and-Seacell blend that became a signature base and made Seacell a familiar fibre to North American hand-knitters — and for a small, tightly-edited palette of multi-colour painted colourways that read as misty, slightly luminous, never neon. The brand is sold through select stockists and the studio's direct site; bands are minimal, with the dyer's name and colourway hand-written in.
Hand Maiden is still active in 2026. This particular skein lost its band somewhere in resale and arrived to us unlabeled — but the yarn itself is in original twist, clean, and unworked. The brand identification is operator-confirmed against the original purchase, and the specs above are Hand Maiden's Sea Silk standard.
