What the yarn is great for

This is my go to yarn for nalbinding or weaving some chunky, textured items. It is also great to crochet or knit with.

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.
