Description
Like a rare opal catching the light, Opalescence is a colourway that constantly reveals something new. Soft and delicate at first glance, this magical yarn is scattered with shimmering flashes of UV-reactive colour that transform under black lights into a glowing display of ethereal beauty. By day, Opalescence features a dreamy ivory base kissed with speckles of pastel pink, lemon yellow, mint green, aqua blue and hints of lavender. Under UV light, those gentle accents burst into life, glowing with radiant neon energy like an enchanted gemstone illuminated from within.
The result is a colourway that feels both elegant and playful, perfect for makers who love subtle beauty with a hidden surprise.

💎 Inspiration
Opals have long been associated with magic, mystery and hidden fire. Opalescence captures the moment when sunlight catches the surface of a precious gemstone, revealing flashes of pink, green, blue and gold hidden within. When exposed to UV light, those colours awaken and glow, giving this yarn an almost otherworldly quality.

Statement socks

Projects that deserve a touch of hidden magic
Please Note
As each skein is hand dyed, speckling and colour placement will vary slightly, making every skein a one-of-a-kind treasure. For larger projects using multiple skeins, alternating skeins is recommended.
Warning: May cause compulsive yarn squishing, gemstone collecting impulses, and repeated trips to the nearest UV light just to admire the glow. ✨💎🌈
