Emu – Hand Dyed 100% Cotton Yarn | 8ply

Grounded, resilient, and quietly striking, Emu is a colourway inspired by one of Australia’s most iconic birds, known for its strength and its rare ability to only move forward, never backward.

Hand dyed in a harmonious blend of warm beige, soft browns, and stormy greys, Emu reflects the raw beauty of the Australian landscape. The balanced, earthy palette creates a fabric that feels both timeless and effortlessly wearable, allowing texture and stitch work to truly shine.

Perfect for makers drawn to sophisticated neutrals, Emu lends itself beautifully to garments, shawls, and heirloom-quality pieces designed to be worn often and loved for years.

Care Instructions

Because cotton is dyed using fibre-reactive dyes, some colour run-off during the first few washes is completely normal. While each skein is thoroughly rinsed and washed until the water runs clear before leaving us, a small amount of excess dye may still release during subsequent washes.

Hand wash finished projects separately in cold water for the first few washes to help prevent colour transfer. Once the excess dye has been removed, continue to hand wash as needed and lay flat or hang to dry.
