Moving forward, Grevillea Lux will only be available via selected Blackwattle stockists. Colours listed here are those still available in our farm shop.
Please note, these colourway images are to be used as a guide only. Blackwattle yarns are hand dyed, so each skein will be unique in it’s own special way. Though we use the same recipe batch to batch, each wash of dye splashes in different ways, colours blend uniquely and sprinkles of dye may not fall in the same spots as last time. It’s part of what makes hand dyed yarns so special!
Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye from the fibres, however with dark and saturated colourways some residual dye may remain. We suggest washing projects individually.
For your Grevillea Lux projects, we suggest a gentle hand wash in cold water. Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.
We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
