Pastel Yarn

Our Pastels Collection is a gentle little love letter to soft colour. These hand-dyed shades feel like warm breezes, fairy-floss afternoons, and quiet, comforting moments.
Each skein is dyed with a light touch to keep the colours airy and sweet — perfect for baby blankets, heirloom pieces, shawls, garments and anything that deserves a soft, sentimental palette.
If you adore yarn that whispers instead of shouts, these pastel beauties will feel like home in your hands.

25 products

Life in Loops pastel yarns are inspired by softness — pale florals, washed linens, and colours that bring a sense of ease to your making. These gentle shades allow texture and stitch detail to shine, creating projects that feel calm and considered.

Hand-dyed in small batches on 100% Australian cotton, our pastel yarns are chosen for their softness, breathability, and reliable stitch definition. Cotton’s natural qualities make it a beautiful choice for blankets, baby projects, garments, accessories, and heirloom pieces.

Whether used on their own or paired with whites, neutrals, or subtle semi-tonals, pastel yarns add balance, warmth, and quiet charm to any project.

Care Instructions

Life in Loops cotton pastel yarns are designed for easy, everyday care. We recommend hand washing or a gentle machine wash in cool water using a mild detergent. Lay flat or line dry. As with all hand-dyed yarns, washing separately the first time is advised.

Colour matches the website sample closely; yarn is squishy and soft. Still to use it so cannot comment on how it knits up.

I really love the colour and quality of the beautiful yarn. I got it really fast and absolutely loved receiving it in a branded bag like I had gone shopping physically. So much attention to detail!. The extra little stitch marker surprise was very unexpected and gorgeous too!
