NOTE: Second Chance Skein!

See photos: during the dyeing process, some red/pink from the strawberries bled onto the blue. So, there's an occasional hint of pink in the blue fields. The strawberries can be knitted without any problems.

Second chance 07 comes from the same dye bath.

Assigned Pooling

Discover the magic of assigned pooling yarn ! This hand-dyed yarn is specially designed to create a pattern while knitting with a specific stitch. By using one or more contrasting colors in the skein, you can create a unique figure or color block in your work when following a specific knitting pattern.

Important: This is a directional yarn . This means the yarn must be worked in a fixed direction to achieve the desired effect. If you knit the yarn from the wrong side, you won't be able to create the desired pattern.

Want to know how it works? There's a handy instructional video available on YouTube that shows you step-by-step how to get the best results from this yarn.

Hand wash with wool detergent, preferably cold. Avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat, out of direct sunlight. Do not spin or tumble dry.

Warning: Colours may bleed with hand-dyed yarns
Hand-dyed yarns can sometimes 'bleed', especially during the first wash. This is because some dyes can bleed more strongly, especially with intensive shades such as red, blue or black. Although we aim to rinse out excess dye thoroughly, small amounts of dye may remain.

What can you do to reduce color bleeding?

Always hand wash your knitted or crocheted project in cold water and use a mild wool detergent.

Add a dash of vinegar or a color catcher to the wash water to catch any color run-through.

Always wash strong colours separately, especially during the first wash.

Let the project dry flat, out of the sun, to prevent fading.

Pooling and hand-dyed yarns

Our hand-dyed yarns can cause 'pooling' - areas where the same colour collects - due to their unique colouring. To prevent this, alternate between two skeins.

Colors of the yarns in the photo

I do my best to capture the colors of my hand-dyed yarns as accurately as possible in photos. However, it can happen that the colors appear slightly different in real life due to differences in screens or lighting conditions. If you have any doubts about a color or have specific questions, please feel free to contact me!

Our colours are created by layering dye, creating shades within the same colour group. This layering technique gives each strand a subtle depth and nuance, giving the end result more vibrancy and character than a solid colour. These tonal variations make the yarns versatile and dynamic, perfect for projects that require that extra dimension.
