Hand dyed wool yarn is produced in small batches — They are sometimes one-offs and sometimes repeated recipes.  Its best to buy enough yarn to do your project at the time of purchase so you are not disappointed when you come back to get extra yarn and find it gone or the new stock "slightly different in shade/colour/tone".    Bookmark this page and check back for new arrivals from your favourite Australian makers at Skein Machine.
