Speckled and variegated yarns offer expressive colour variation, making every project feel unique. From soft, scattered speckles to flowing changes in tone, these yarns create visual interest without the need for complex colourwork.

At Life in Loops, our speckled and variegated yarns are hand-dyed in small batches on carefully selected bases, including 100% Australian cotton and our cotton, bamboo and merino blend. Each skein is dyed with intention, allowing colours to layer and settle naturally.

These yarns are perfect for blankets, garments, accessories, and statement pieces where colour adds personality and depth. No two skeins are ever exactly the same, making each project truly your own.

Care Instructions

Life in Loops speckled and variegated yarns are designed for gentle 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 to allow any excess dye to release.

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!
