Latest from 'The House Dye'
Lumber Yak - Yak 4ply
$36.00
'The House Dye' (THD) yarns have been created by Jamo, in small batches, therefore each skein has been dyed with love (and sometimes tears).
Many of the yarns are based on images that catches Jamo's eye. Then other times he will pick out certain colours to create matching or complementary semi solids for your fabulous projects. Let’s face it who knows where Jamo's mind will take him... no one else has worked it out yet, not even the professionals!
We dye in small batches; it works better for us. We often will just do a small quantity and see if people will like it. Our recipes though are written down in detail so we can reproduce consistently.
With all House Dye products, if there is not enough in stock, use the pre-order option and we will ensure that we prioritise your order in our dye runs and get it to you as soon as possible. In this case we will dye your chosen colourways in a batch run so as not to mix lots.
