We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy. Hand-dyed yarns vary from one skein to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein.
We highly recommend getting enough yarn for your project. To encourage this, you can exchange extra skeins if they are in their original condition, thus ensuring your project will have consistency. We dye in small, project sized batches, and don’t have dye lots.
Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality, even within a batch dyed at the same time. This gives final objects depth and nuance.
With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
I love that Sweet As is soft, strong, and has a little halo of fuzz. It also comes up beautifully in every colourway. I held it together with Mint and it created the softest gloves ever.
Gorgeous colours and a dream to knit with. Wonderful sheen and beautifully soft. Makes the loveliest scarves.
Soft yarn with excellent stitch definition. It does split easily, so a little bit of care is needed. The other unexpected (might have missed this detail in the description though) is that it has fibers that stick out. I’ve just washed and blocked the baby blanket I used the yarn for and they’re still there.
Still soft and the colours (I used fairy bread and the new Navy colour) look amazing.
While visiting New Zealand, I wanted to visit some local yarn stores. On my last day, Tara was kind enough to let me come early to shop due to my flight times. The yarn she dyes is SO beautiful. I look forward to making the sweater using the Keen yarn.
Sweet As is definitely the softest and most luxurious sock yarn I ever worked with. It's just a dream! It blocks beautifully and I can't wait to wear my new socks when the weather cools down a bit!
