Throughout 2025 we're creating capsule collections of non-superwash yarn in limited palettes inspired by nature. 

the // warmth // collection comprises six shades, dyed on the perfect sweater yarn base...

smeeth | sport is a 3-ply yarn woollen-spun from corriedale fibre into a lofty, airy, yet sturdy yarn. With 300m per 100g skein, it is a standard sport weight but its gorgeous lofty spin means it knits to a DK/worsted gauge perfectly too, mkaing it incredibly versatile and good value for larger projects. We love it for sweaters and cardigans but it also makes cosy hats, scarves, and mitts.

We've dyed six shades inspired by lime pickle, hot cocoa, marmalade on toast, and steaming bowls of porridge. Add in soft sage and murky sea kelp and it's a six-shade palette with endless two, three, and four shade combinations for colourwork and stripes, as well as each shade working perfectly on its own...

porridge ~ a warm taipe beige with hints of silver grey, and warm chestnut

sage ~ cool blue green aqua with subtle tonal variation

pickle ~ zingy chartreuse with lime and ochre undertones

marmalade ~ warm, rich, deep burnt orange

kelp ~ murky olive green with drab khaki tones running through it

cocoa ~ rich warm chocolate brown with connamon undertones.

Non-superwash yarn can require a little more thought and attention to care but the rewards are plentiful! Fibres that haven't been superwash treated tend to have more memory, bite, and structural interest, and the lack of chemical/processing intervention makes them better for the environment.

Alongside the ready-to-ship yarn, we've made all the shades available dyed-to-order, so you can purchase just what you like, in the exact quantities you need, for whatever project you have in mind. Dyed-to-order skeins will be dispatched within 10 working days. We will never mix dye batches without consulting you first...
