Hand-dyed Yarn
Sweet Paprika offers a selection of hand-dyed and hand-painted luxury yarns in a variety of weights and fibres.
We usually dye in small batches, so if you need yarn for a large project, please contact us. We would be happy to dye a larger batch for you.
Due to the hand-crafted nature of these products, some variation in colour will occur from skein to skein.
