By using quality natural fibre and sourcing ethically produced natural dyes, we are able to produce beautiful hand dyed yarn for the Yarn Store. The colours from natural dyes are enthralling. Hand dyed yarns may be repeated but they can never be exactly the same. The process will depend on where the dyestuff was grown, how and when it was harvested, the fibres being dyed, and the method of application we use - part of the beauty of a handmade product!
