  • Dye it Yourself Learn to Dye Yarn kit.

    £20.00

    At The Lace Knittery we have been dyeing our own yarn and fibre since 2010 and it is such fun. We have developed this kit to share a fascinating and enjoyable hobby. The colours are food colouring based and as such are entirely non toxic, so no specialist equipment is required. The kits contains full instructions, four colours which can be mixed or diluted into at least another ten. Each colour can be diluted into at least a litre of water meaning a little goes a long way. There are gloves, a spatula, pipettes (for making a dotty or splashed effect) and a 100g skein of yarn.

    The colour is set with heat and then it is washable.

    Enjoy at all ages from three to ninety three.

  • Fernhill fibre naturally dyed yarns

    £12.00

    Fernhill is a farm a few miles away from The Lace Knittery and it is a special place to visit. They farm holistically and organically and have transformed the soil on the farm. The sheep breeds have been selected as most suitable for the environment and they are breed for the quality of their fleece. It is a magical place.

    The yarn is spun into a two ply just over the border in Wales meaning total yarn mileage to The Lace Knittery is kept to a minimum.
    This yarn forms part of The Lace Knittery Natural Selection where we naturally dye in house. The dyes are either foraged locally (often from the garden or outside The Lace Knittery HQ) or ethically sourced. At the end of the dyeing process only clear water is left.

    Each skein is 100g/405m lace weight. It is soft to work with and easy to use.

  • The Lace Knittery Hand Painted Lace Weight Baby Alpaca Yarn

    £22.00

    At The Lace Knittery we hand paint and naturally dye our own range of yarns and fibre. All are natural fibres and traceable to source, ethically produced and in our dyeing processes do not use harsh chemicals.

    They are washed several times to remove any excess dye.

    They are all inspired by the world around me and the myth, magic and beauty of these British Isles.

    Each skein is 100g 800m (enough to knit an entire wrap)

    70% baby alpaca, 20% silk 10% cashmere.
