Bright Yellow 2 British Shetland Yarn

Information about…

Dyed with organic homegrown Weld on a beautifully soft totally British aran base, commercially spun in Yorkshire from British Shetland sheep. This bright yellow aran British Shetland yarn is hand-dyed using minimal input method based on over 3,000 years of sustainable dyeing.  Part of the range of amazing colours Weld gives, this is a stand out colour.  I am never sure what colour I will get from Weld, because the process is so dependent on water quality, pH, temperature and fibre type (even down to sheep breed) that I find it fun to play with (although a little frustrating sometimes).

What the yarn is great for

This is my go to yarn for knitting, crochet, tapestry weaving and other crafts. It is fun to play with and the colours I achieve with the natural dyes are fabulous!

The key points:

• British grown and processed yarn
• Soap is bio-degradable
• Dyed with homegrown organic plant dyes

Be aware

Once a specific colour is gone, it is gone!  Due to the nature of natural dyes (the dye pigment varies with weather and time of day it is harvested), it is impossible to exactly colour match, although I can get close.  Therefore, if you see something you love don’t hesitate to buy and make sure you order enough for your project.

The colours in the photos are the best match I can make, but there is variation between screens and devices.

If you see a colour you particularly like and there is insufficient available for you project, please contact me and I will provide you with a custom order for the amount you need. There may be a slight colour difference, but we can discuss this.
