A new colorway in a really delicious yarn! 

I wish you could feel this.  It looks rather basic, a tweedy worsted weight, but the hand is simply delicious.  

Saxony  is 75% cashmere and 25 % extra fine merino.  Each skein has  120 yards (110m)/ 50g. 

I quote Juniper Moon Farm here: 

Luxurious blend of cashmere and extrafine merino combine to deliver elegance and a classic tweed look and feel. Cashmere provides the luxe while extrafine merino provides multicolor wooly nubs throughout. Perfect for super high-end garments and accessories at a user-friendly worsted weight gauge.

The merino wool means it has memory and will keep its shape (and warmth).  The cashmere is also warm and oh-so-absolutely-delightfully-soft. 

This new colorway (new for us, anyway) is called Bordeaux.  It is a dark rich wine.

The last photo on this page shows a brioche knit hat I made for my son, combining Bordeaux and Obsidian.  He wanted it very dark overall; I think it would also look great with Bordeaux and Abalone.  (See these other Saxony colorways here.)
