JUST ARRIVED! Maiwa's Honest Yarns – Cones & Skeins — 4 New Colours! Dyed by Hand with Natural Colour

by - Tuesday, May 07, 2024


A NEW SHIPMENT HAS ARRIVED!
WITH 4 NEW COLOURS

3 WEIGHTS AVAILALBE IN SKEINS
1 WEIGHT IN CONES

After years of working with artisan weavers and knitters, Maiwa has developed its own line of naturally dyed yarns. These yarns are everything we have been looking for in a spun fibre. 

Our Linen Honest Yarn shows the raw beauty of Belgian flax, spun in Bengal. It offers a wonderful buttery hand and the exceptional weight and presence that only linen can give.




CONES


Cobweb
Our second lightest weight yarn, beautiful for weaving projects or for fine knitting and crochet lace.  It loves being thrown in a shuttle and makes an ideal warp and weft.



SKEINS




Lace
Great for fine knitting and crochet: summer shawls, lace projects, open work, and fine warm weather garments.

Fingering
Great for fine knitting and crochet.

Sport
A heavier weight. Project suggestions include a market bag, draped summer sweaters, spring top, woven dish towels.


Linen is one of the more challenging fibres to dye naturally, especially to dye well. But we feel we've nailed it. Beautiful rich jewel-like tones that are both deep and even. Lighter colours that are consistent, level, and delicate without being weak. Colours that are as satisfying to work with as the act of creating.

Maiwa's colour development and testing goes deep. We've spent decades beside the dye pot working with materials like cutch, madder, lac, myrobalan, pomegranate and of course, indigo. These yarns have excellent light and wash fastness — we are so proud of them.

You can also buy Maiwa's honest yarns undyed and colour them yourself. To know how we do ours, visit our website at naturaldyes.ca
