Colourways - Random mixed hues
These charts have been created using a mixture of Lara Downs yarns, but they are applicable to all Lara Downs hand dyed yarns, fibres & fabrics eg tops, lap, curls, lengths of silk etc. When selecting your preferred colourway to order, please note that the appearance and depth of colour may vary a little from those shown below, depending on your choice of yarn/fibre eg pure wool will give deeper shades than silk and silk will give deeper shades than mohair using the same dye bath. Some swatches have both silk and wool or silk and mohair to give both shiny and matt finishes in the same swatch. Others combine boucle and smooth yarns. You can copy these effects by ordering several different yarns and knitting (or weaving or crocheting) them together or sequentially. Actual samples of the Lara Downs colourways in our different yarns, can be viewed at Precious Purl or purchased (see below).
Please nominate both the hue/shade name as well as its number when ordering. With hand dyeing, the dye batches will always vary a little from each other, so please try to order the full quantity needed for any project before you start.
This chart provides only an overview of our range, rather than a complete listing. If you would like to order another shade seen elsewhere on this web site, please enquire about its availability. We are also prepared to try and match a favourite colour seen elsewhere, but no promises about an exact match. Extra charges apply for this matching service.
