Opal – Hand-Dyed Cotton Yarn | 4 Ply & 8 Ply

💜 Opal – Hand-Dyed Cotton Yarn

A beautiful mix of colour, with a little unexpected twist! 💜💙💗💚

Meet Opal, a gorgeous multicoloured addition to our Life in Loops hand-dyed cotton yarn collection.

Bringing together a beautiful combination of Violet, Blue, Dusty Pink and Jade Green, with a delicate scattering of Cinnamon, Opal is a colourway filled with depth, contrast and personality.

The cooler Violet and Blue tones blend beautifully with the softness of Dusty Pink, while Jade Green adds a fresh pop of colour. A scattering of Cinnamon brings an unexpected touch of warmth, tying this colourful combination together.

As you knit or crochet, the different colours reveal themselves throughout your stitches, creating a beautiful interplay of shades that makes every project a little different.

Whether you're creating a colourful blanket, a beautiful shawl, a garment or something completely different, Opal is ready to bring a little colour magic to your next project!

🧶 Available in 4 Ply & 8 Ply Cotton

Opal is hand dyed on our beautiful 100% Cotton yarn base and available in two weights:

• 4 Ply Cotton: 100g – approximately 400 metres. Perfect for lightweight garments, shawls, detailed crochet projects and blankets.
• 8 Ply Cotton: 100g – approximately 180 metres. A lovely choice for blankets, garments, bags, accessories and homewares.

🧶 Skein or Wound Ball – You Choose!

Everyone has their own favourite way to receive their yarn, so we're giving you the choice!

• Traditional Skein: Receive your yarn in its twisted skein, ready for you to wind when you're ready to start your project.

🌈 Mix, Match & Create!

Opal is beautiful on its own, allowing its combination of colours to take centre stage, but it's also a wonderful colourway for mixing and matching.

Pair it with our Violet, Dusty Pink or Jade Green colourways to highlight individual shades, or bring in Cinnamon to draw out those scattered accents.

For a softer purple combination, Opal would also look lovely alongside Iris, Full Iris and Iris Bloom.

Think colourful blankets, eye-catching shawls, garments, granny squares or a special handmade gift. There are so many possibilities!

🎨 Hand Dyed With Care

Every Life in Loops skein is individually hand dyed in small batches at Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

As with all hand-dyed yarn, slight variations in colour placement and intensity are part of its handmade charm. Your yarn may vary slightly from the product photographs.

For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins where appropriate to help blend natural colour variations.

💜 A Little Bit of Everything Beautiful!

With its gorgeous combination of Violet, Blue, Dusty Pink and Jade Green, finished with a scattering of Cinnamon, Opal is a colourway that celebrates the beauty of unexpected colour combinations.

Opal – a little unexpected, beautifully colourful and perfectly loopy! 💜🧶
