Luna DK – Fall in Love with Every Glow

Luna DK by Symfonie Hand-Dyed Yarns is where luxury meets artistry in every stitch. Hand-dyed in small batches in India, each skein combines the softness of superwash extrafine merino with the radiant sheen of silk – a partnership that creates fabric so luminous it seems to glow from within.

First Impressions

From the first touch, Luna DK feels indulgent – smooth, soft, and full of graceful drape. The silk catches the light with a subtle shimmer, while the merino gives warmth and bounce. Every skein feels like holding a gemstone – richly coloured, radiant, and full of depth.

Why It Works

The secret of Luna lies in its harmony of texture and tone. The 75% merino provides elasticity and structure, while 25% silk adds luxurious sheen and softness. Hand-dyed with Oekotex Class 100 certified dyes, each colourway is inspired by India’s precious gems – deep rubies, glowing emeralds, and royal sapphires that tell stories of temple treasures and ancient artistry. The result is a yarn that knits like a dream and elevates even simple stitches into something truly elegant.
