Colour Description
'Oneroa' is a colourway inspired by walking the long stretch of pebble and shell-flecked sand on the beach near where I live. It consists of beautiful silvery greys, warm ochre, blues and jewel tones.
10% of the profits from this colourway goes to support the work of Taki Rua Productions, Aotearoa's foremost Māori theatre company. Read more about their work here.
Small batch hand-dyed.
Yarn Description
100% natural Aotearoa fibre. This is a gloriously soft, chunky-yet-lightweight yarn comprised of 15% NZ Brushtail Possum, 15% NZ Cashmere and 60% NZ Merino. This combination of highest quality, luxury fibres creates an exquisitely soft, insulating and durable yarn. It's a delight to work with and wear.

Small batch, hand-dyed yarn from my little studio in Lower Hutt, Aotearoa/New Zealand. Everything, from sourcing the yarn to shipping, is done with love and care by hand. The nature of hand-dyed yarn is that no two skeins are exactly the same, creating beautifully nuanced colourways.
I source finest quality, fully traceable and mulesing-free, ethically, sustainably farmed yarns from New Zealand and abroad.
The dyes I use are made in Australia and New Zealand. They are acid dyes that are used for dyeing protein-based fibre (such as wool and silk). I take every care to use only the quantities necessary to create my colourways. This means that the dyepot is fully exhausted when the dyeing is complete.
