Sweetheart - Gentle, comforting hand-dyed yarn

A colourway woven with warmth and kindness, Sweetheart is a gentle reminder to treat yourself and others with softness. This delicate blend of rosy pinks and earthy undertones captures the quiet strength of a kind heart, radiating warmth, understanding, and the simple joy of connection.

If you're craving a knitting experience that soothes your soul and brings a little more heart into your day, Sweetheart was made with you in mind. It’s perfect for those quiet moments where your stitches help you slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with what matters most. Each skein is a small invitation to pause, unwind, and knit with intention.

Let Sweetheart infuse your next project with extra care, comfort, and kindness. It’s especially lovely for accessories or garments you want to wrap yourself or a loved one in.

This is a DYED-TO-ORDER yarn listing for the colourway Sweetheart. Please allow 4–6 weeks for your yarn to be lovingly hand dyed just for you.

Select your desired yarn base and quantity from the options provided.

Knitted Fingerless Mitts samples are shown in the pattern Mountainberry Mitts.

Hand dyed with care in my home studio in the Adelaide Hills.

Yarn Care

Care Instructions: Hand wash, dry flat in shade.

Earth Kindness

Earth Kindness
I do my best to make thoughtful choices that are kinder to the planet. My aim is to be as gentle and mindful as possible with my creations, from the yarn itself to the way it arrives at your door.

Yarn
My yarns are made from locally grown Australian merino, with the majority coming from White Gum Wool, an ethical and sustainable farm in Tasmania. I use non-toxic, low-impact dyes to add soft, lasting colour to my yarn without compromising the environment or my own health.

Packaging
I take care to make my packaging as kind to the earth as possible. My swing tags are made in Australia from 100% recycled paper and tied with string. Your yarn will be wrapped in 100% recycled tissue paper and sent in either a home compostable mailer or a 100% recycled, Australian-made cardboard box.
