Hand Painted Yarn - Heritage Yarns

Heritage Yarns offers high-quality, hand painted yarns in tencel, cotton, rayon and silk. Collections include a wide variety of variegated and tone-on-tone colorways.

Yarns shown in the Colorways Collection are  ready to ship unless otherwise stated.  Stocked quantities are limited so you may want to check with me by email at Margaret@heritageyarns.com for quantity available. 

See The Hand Painted Yarns to purchase natural and hand painted skeins or select from one of the options below from the Collections Menu to purchase hand painted. 

Color will vary slightly on different monitors as well as on different yarns.  For example, Premier 5/2 will take up the dye differently than a 100% rayon yarn.  Unmercerized or pre-mercerized yarns like Premier 5/2 will have softer, muted shades whereas rayon dyes brilliantly in the same colorway.  

Hand dyeing gives a depth of texture and color unavailable in commercially dyed yarns and fibers.  Heritage offers approximately forty colorways in a variety of yarns.  If you don't see an old favorite, check back often as I rotate the colorways for your interest - and mine. <g> 

Color inspiration comes for the most part from our beautiful, lush state of Mississippi.  Colorways like Traces of the Natchez Trace and Spring at Rocky Springs were inspired by our wonderful Natchez Trace Parkway.  Many like Sagebrush are from travels.  Magic Carpet Ride was inspired by rich Turkish carpets.

The list of colorways below the collections menu are "resting," retired or were special editions.  This list was made so that you will know that, yes, it was a Heritage Yarns colorway that you saw or purchased and chances are you will see it again.  Patrons have been very kind to send pictures in colorways that aren't currently available.

I hope you enjoy these colorways as much as I enjoyed designing and creating them and  that you are inspired to weave or knit a one-of-a-kind creation.  And, as always, if you have a question or comment please feel free to email me at Margaret@heritageyarns.com.

Warm regards,

Margaret
