Yarn Cakes

Our yarn cakes are hand-dyed on 100% Australian cotton, featuring smooth colour transitions and generous meterage. Designed for projects that love flow and movement, they’re a joy to stitch from start to finish.

Life in Loops yarn cakes are designed for makers who love uninterrupted stitching and gentle colour flow. Each cake is carefully hand-dyed on 100% Australian cotton, chosen for its softness, breathability, and excellent stitch definition.

The smooth colour transitions allow shades to blend naturally as you work, creating beautiful movement without harsh colour changes. With generous meterage, these cakes are ideal for shawls, garments, blankets, and statement projects where colour takes centre stage.

Dyed in small batches with care and attention to detail, our cotton yarn cakes are made to be enjoyed — from the first stitch to the last — and to become a trusted part of your making.


Life in Loops cotton yarn cakes are designed for everyday use and easy care. We recommend a gentle machine wash or hand wash in cool water, with 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!
