Dyed by hand in Coldwick

Yarn dyed in small batches, in colours that hold.

Merino, alpaca and silk, dyed by hand in batches of forty skeins or fewer. Each skein is labelled with its batch and date, so the next one matches.

Four days from undyed base to your door

We buy undyed base from two small mills and dye it ourselves. Nothing sits on the shelf for long, so a colour you love is often a colour you can order again next season.
