1 skein of Lush. When it's gone, it's gone.
SKEIN (Australia) Merino/Cashmere Fingering in *Lush* — a moody, weather-front tonal of slate, smoke-grey, soft olive, and bands of inky cobalt-blue pooling through the strand. Reads atmospheric and quiet rather than colour-loud, with the cashmere fluff catching just enough light to soften the dye contrast. The kind of skein that argues for a simple textured stitch and lets the fibre do the work.
This listing is for 1 skein of SKEIN Yarn (Australia) Merino/Cashmere Fingering in color Lush.
About the yarn:
This is SKEIN's Merino/Cashmere Fingering base — 80% merino, 20% cashmere, no nylon. The strand is smooth and slightly soft to the touch, with a small visible halo from the cashmere that becomes pronounced after a wash. At 437 yards / 100 g it's a generous single-skein shawl or a luxurious cowl worn next to skin; it's not built for socks (no nylon) but it's exactly the right kind of yarn for a fingering-weight shawl that wants drape and a soft glow, a small textured piece where cables and brioche read beautifully on the cashmere bloom, or paired against a saturated cobalt or warm gold solid for a two-colour project.

About SKEIN Yarn (Australia) Merino/Cashmere:
SKEIN is an active Australian indie dye studio (skeinyarn.com), best known for clean hand-painted colourways on a small selection of tested sock and shawl bases. The Merino/Cashmere Fingering base is the studio's luxury-end fibre — the same dye approach as Top Draw Socks but on a softer, halo'd cashmere blend meant for shawls and next-to-skin pieces.
Bands are signed with the studio's hand-painted heart tag plus a printed base/colourway label. *Lush* is one of the moody tonal colourways the studio releases alongside the brighter painted multis; it's the quiet side of the SKEIN palette.
