Announcement
Be the first to check out my webshop!

I will be using my Pirate Purl Yarns Etsy shop front to list my one of a kind dyeing.
My permanent collection is all available at:
www.piratepurlyarns.com
when I feel like experimenting and trying something new, you will be able to find it here in limited quantities and all truly one of a kind. Almost all of the yarn that will be in the shop will not be reproducible. What you see is what you get!

I was recently asked what I enjoy most about hand dyeing and it caused me to realise that I take a lot of pleasure from experimenting with mixing colour spontaneously.
As a result I have introduced into my production schedule a dedicated slot for colour play for the SHEER JOY OF IT!!!
To help you know which skeins these are when you are shopping, I will list them all with the same colour-way, called Lady Luck followed by a batch number. All Lady Luck skeins are one off, the results of freestyle dye sessions (no record kept), making them unrepeatable and limited in number so please buy what you need as I can't make more!
