Petits Canetons (French for little ducklings) is a tender, sunlit neutral that glows with warmth. Soft layers of pale peach, sand, and subtle hints of sage drift across the skein, touched by a gentle Stellina shimmer that adds a whisper of light. The result is subtle and elegant — a calm, natural hue that feels simple yet complex.
Dyed on our Fine Merino Shimmer Fingering base, this yarn is silky, luminous, and soft to the touch. It’s a versatile shade that pairs beautifully with both bold tones and other neutrals, lending a quiet radiance to any project.
Our Fine Merino Shimmer base is spun together with fine strands of Stellina and super wash fine merino for softness, along with nylon for added strength. Stellina is a metallic fibre, usually made that adds a soft, smooth sparkle to yarn without being scratchy.
