Ridiculously Beautiful : Pancake and Lulu Yarns : PLY
The highest quality, carefully selected yarns are hand dyed with complex color recipes in individual small batch dye sessions. This meticulous care creates beautiful, subtle color glazing, only achievable by this hand coloring technique. The result is the lovely effect of dappling by light and color, creating a fascinating fabric with no harsh color pooling or stripes. In this unique, versatile line of yarns, you will delight in the pure joy of the knitting process and the stunning effects of your results. Enjoy!

Please check the shipping time above for the lead time for me to create your hand dyed skeins. My recipes are carefully recorded and reproducible, however since each skein is hand-created individually, there may be variations from batch to batch - please order enough for your project for best match. Alternating skeins while knitting is a good practice to blend variations between skeins, should you wish to do so. Your happiness is my top priority - and I am very proud of my excellent feedback. Please contact me if you are dissatisfied with anything you purchase from Pancake and Lulu. :) Happy Crafting!

The sheep that supply us with our wool are 100% non-mulesed. We believe that mulesing is a cruel practice to the animals for the benefit of the wool farmer. You can be confident that PLY yarn and fiber is mulesing-free.
