limited editions
In addition to our standard base lineup, we also do produce limited edition yarns every now and then which will be completely unique and one of a kind. These yarns are available while supply lasts and will not be repeatable due to various reasons like a limited fibre supply or a very individual production process. The limited editions are very dear to my heart because they let me express my creativity and love for unique fibres and blends and I hope to spark joy in you when working with these very special yarns.
