Amazing Parrot Pastel | Hand-dyed Cotton Yarn
Couldn't load pickup availability
A softer, more delicate take on my Amazing Parrot colourway from the In Full Bloom collection!
This beautiful batch has all the lovely peach, coral, pink and yellow tones of the original Amazing Parrot, but with a much softer, pastel finish.
While it's a little different from the vibrant colours I originally had in mind, I think this version has a charm all of its own!
Hand-dyed in Canberra using the same beautiful 100% Australian cotton as all my other yarns, it's perfect for anyone who loves a softer colour palette.
Only 8 cakes available!
This is a one-off batch, with just 8 × 100g cakes available in 4ply. Once they're sold out, this particular colourway won't be returning.

Will the colours look exactly like the photos?
I do my best to photograph colours as accurately as possible, but screens can vary slightly. Each batch is also hand-dyed, so there may be small variations… that’s part of what makes each piece unique.
Are all yarn cakes exactly the same?
Because each cake is hand-dyed in small batches, there can be subtle differences between them. They’re designed to work beautifully together, but no two are completely identical.
How do I find the start of the yarn?
All of my yarn is wound into cakes rather than hanks, so it’s ready to use straight away… no winding needed.
Each cake also includes a small “start here” tab tucked inside to help you find the end quickly.
It’s a simple little thing, but it makes getting started so much easier… and helps avoid the dreaded yarn barf 😄
What can I make with this yarn?
4ply is perfect for lightweight garments, shawls, baby blankets and fine detailed projects.
8ply works up a little quicker and is great for garments, accessories and everyday makes.
How much yarn do I need?
Each cake is 50g, and yarn requirements will depend on your project. Most projects will use multiple cakes depending on the size and style.
If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to reach out. You can use the chat box on the website or send me a message on social media… it all comes straight to me, so you’ll be chatting with a real person (me 😄), not a bot.
Where do you source your yarn?
I source my yarn through a woollen mill here in NSW, which is something that’s really important to me as a small Australian business.
While the base yarn itself is imported, supporting local suppliers and businesses is something I always prioritise where I can.
All yarn is then hand-dyed by me in my home studio.
Need help choosing your yarn?
If you’re not quite sure what you need, I’m always happy to help.
You can reach me through the chat box on the bottom of this page or over on social media… it all comes straight to me, so you’ll be chatting with a real person (me 😄).
How is the yarn packaged for posting?
All orders are packed using eco-friendly packaging wherever possible. I try to keep things simple, minimal, and kind to the environment while still making your order feel special when it arrives.
