Semi-tonal yarn is a timeless choice for makers who love subtle movement in their colourwork. With soft shifts in tone rather than bold contrasts, these yarns enhance texture and stitch patterns while remaining calm and versatile.

At Life in Loops, our semi-tonals are hand-dyed in small batches using carefully selected fibres, including 100% Australian cotton and our Bamboo/Merino blend. Each base is chosen for its softness, durability, and ability to hold colour beautifully.

These yarns are perfect for blankets, garments, accessories, and projects where you want colour that complements rather than competes. Whether used on their own or paired with speckles and solids, semi-tonals bring balance, warmth, and quiet character to your work.

Designed for real projects and everyday use, Life in Loops semi-tonal yarns are made to be stitched, worn, washed, and loved.

Life in Loops semi-tonal yarns are designed for everyday making and gentle wear. 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 to allow any excess dye to release.
