About Us

Watercolours and Lace hand-paint yarn in a variety of lace weights, from cobweb upwards, and a range of 4-ply thicknesses. All are dyed in small batches - often just one 100g skein at a time, using a technique which results in subtle colour variations and gradations, without harsh stripes or pooling.

No two skeins are identical, even within a single batch, so whatever you create with our yarns will be one-of-a-kind.

We only use high quality natural fibre yarns, from British flocks and/or spun in the UK when possible, although a number of yarns are sourced by our suppliers from overseas.

We also produce kits from our own designs.

Professional acid dyes are used for our main range and we are constantly experimenting with new colour blends, so the palette available changes regularly. We also offer a more limited colour range using natural botanical (plant-based) dyes.
