Sweet Pea is available in a huge selection of our semi-solid and variegated colourways, but can be dyed to order in most of our standard repeatable colourways on request. Minimum order quantities and lead times may apply. Reach out to us via the Contact Us form for further details.

Please note, these 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 Sweet Pea 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.
