Choosing colours…
We know all too well that choosing colour combinations can be troublesome, particularly online. That’s why we’ve come up with a set of scales that each yarn will fall somewhere on; helping to naturally divide the colours into clear groups that can then be discussed for colourway combinations.
The easiest way to get a clear contrast between colours is to choose a light colourway on Resolute (4 ply/fingering) or Steadfast (DK) and then pair it with any colourway on Night’s Watch (4 ply/fingering) or Take the Black (DK). The base blend of yarn will immediately offer contrast and make colour choices easier.
Light - Gloaming - Dark
(how light or dark is the colour from white to black)
Semi-solid - Semi-tonal - Semi-variegated - Variegated
(how busy is the colourway when seen in a finished fabric after crafting)
Clear - Dusky - Muddy
(how true and clear is the colour to a primary colour, i.e. colour clarity)
Cool - Warm
(how cool or warm is the colour in tone - e.g. is it a green shade of blue or a pink shade of blue)
Un-blemished - Blemished - Speckled - Splattered
(how much will the speckles impact the finished fabric of the colourway)
High Contrast
Try choosing a light and a dark colourway; stick to semi-solid or semi-tonal; aim for at least one of the colours to be clear or un-blemished.
Fades
Choose a light, a gloaming and a dark; avoid the semi-solids, un-blemished and clear colourways for the most part; might be easier to stick to all cool or all warm for your whole fade.

A Wheel of Time - Aes Sedai - the One Power distilled into colour on yarn!
Ajah is the name given to one of the seven different groups of Aes Sedai: the Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, White, Gray, and Brown.
Some believe that there is a hidden Black Ajah devoted to the Dark One, but this is heavily denied by the White Tower.
This collection of colours includes a heavier colour application that offers some splatters, as well as speckles. I’ve taken the opportunity to capture bigger splashes of colour in this series alone, as it reflects the magical powers and intricacies of the women it’s inspired by and creates bigger pops of colour in your knitting, crochet or weaving than you would traditionally be used to from Telling Yarns. Expect the odd smudge of delicious colour (including black in Blue + Black Ajah). White Ajah only includes speckles, but does include black. It knits up as very simple, natural fabric, with little dots of colour interest here and there.

"Bill and Fleur's cottage stood alone on a cliff overlooking the sea, its walls embedded with shells and whitewashed... Wherever Harry went inside the tiny cottage or its garden, he could hear the constant ebb and flow of the sea, like the breathing of some great, slumbering creature. He spent much of the next few days making excuses to escape the crowded cottage, craving the cliff-top view of open sky and wide, empty sea, and the feel of cold, salty wind on his face."

100% undyed British non-superwash wool.
Almost ecru/white-cream colour with a slight dark flecking.
From spring 2025 the blend will gradually alter slightly to 65% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 5% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
(Spins prior to spring 2025 were a blend of 50% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 15% Masham | 5% Zwartbles - 100% British from farm to needle.)
I wanted a yarn that brought together drape, memory, lustre and bounce, with added depth and saturation of colour from the heathering of dark Zwartbles fibres, then topped off with a gentle halo . Worsted spun for a smooth and strong yarn, this custom blend has been designed to be the single yarn base that replaces all the yarns that have been stocked at Telling Yarns in the past.

A brand new melange of light/mid-grey/brown wool base, headed to the shop in spring 2025.
40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 30% Romney | 30% BFL 100% British from farm to needle.
Grey Exmoor Blueface maintains softness, while providing a vein of mid-grey/brown that pumps through the ecru Romney and BFL. For all those mid-tones in the Telling Yarns collection, that need both clarity and depth, there are the wonderful Dark Friends and Heart of the Dark bases. Sitting perfectly between the light shades of Resolute/Steadfast and the darkness of Night Gathers/Take the Black.

Non-superwash.
A brand new almost blended dark-grey/brown base, headed to the shop in spring 2025.
40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 20% BFL | 20% Romney | 20% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
Only 20% of the blend is white/ecru wool, with 40% a mid-grey/brown and the last 20% a darker black/brown. Bringing depth to the most saturated colours in the Telling Yarns collection, whilst retaining that flecked, almost tweed-like finish, to the hand-dyed nuances of tone. Not overly blended during gilling, so as to retain the clarity of a light yarn base within the streaks of darkness. It is the ultimate dark side to Resolute/Steadfast and knits perfectly with those and/or Dark Friends/Heart of the Dark.

“Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.”
― Agatha Christie, A Pocket Full of Rye
I designed this colourway for a collaboration with John Arbon Textiles, the wonderful mill who spin all my yarns. We think it’s fun to make Agatha Christie inspired colourways together, as Agatha spent a period of her life living in North Devon where the mill now resides, plus all my yarns are named with literature in mind. I love the idea of a pocket full of dye pigment and the wonderful kaleidoscope of colours this might create - this was my attempt at capturing the uncapturable.

100% undyed British non-superwash wool.
Almost ecru/white-cream colour with a slight dark flecking.
From spring 2025 the blend will gradually alter slightly to 65% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 5% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
(Spins prior to spring 2025 were a blend of 50% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 15% Masham | 5% Zwartbles - 100% British from farm to needle.)
I wanted a yarn that brought together drape, memory, lustre and bounce, with added depth and saturation of colour from the heathering of dark Zwartbles fibres, then topped off with a gentle halo . Worsted spun for a smooth and strong yarn, this custom blend has been designed to be the single yarn base that replaces all the yarns that have been stocked at Telling Yarns in the past.

Non-superwash.
A brand new melange of light/mid-grey/brown wool base, headed to the shop in spring 2025.
40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 30% Romney | 30% BFL 100% British from farm to needle.
Grey Exmoor Blueface maintains softness, while providing a vein of mid-grey/brown that pumps through the ecru Romney and BFL. For all those mid-tones in the Telling Yarns collection, that need both clarity and depth, there are the wonderful Dark Friends and Heart of the Dark bases. Sitting perfectly between the light shades of Resolute/Steadfast and the darkness of Night Gathers/Take the Black.

40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 20% BFL | 20% Romney | 20% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
Only 20% of the blend is white/ecru wool, with 40% a mid-grey/brown and the last 20% a darker black/brown. Bringing depth to the most saturated colours in the Telling Yarns collection, whilst retaining that flecked, almost tweed-like finish, to the hand-dyed nuances of tone. Not overly blended during gilling, so as to retain the clarity of a light yarn base within the streaks of darkness. It is the ultimate dark side to Resolute/Steadfast and knits perfectly with those and/or Dark Friends/Heart of the Dark.

“I’m the Lady Cordelia de Montmorency, abducted by gypsies when I was three. I was born in a palace in Old Vienna, Danubian Waltzes my lullabies. And my father was Johann, with great moustaches, My mother Maria, with emerald eyes. If you’re wondering how I got here, I was kidnapped by this buccaneer, who took me to France and taught me to dance in his gypsy hide out in Tangier!”

Gwen… It needed to capture the happy, warm pastel coral that radiates from Gwen and reflects onto Miles when they’re together. It needed some depth and brightness, plus flecks of teal from her ballet shoes. It needed to be soft and tender, yet an unapologetically punk punch of grungy pink.

A Wheel of Time - Aes Sedai - the One Power distilled into colour on yarn!
Ajah is the name given to one of the seven different groups of Aes Sedai: the Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, White, Gray, and Brown.
Some believe that there is a hidden Black Ajah devoted to the Dark One, but this is heavily denied by the White Tower.
This collection of colours includes a heavier colour application that offers some splatters, as well as speckles. I’ve taken the opportunity to capture bigger splashes of colour in this series alone, as it reflects the magical powers and intricacies of the women it’s inspired by and creates bigger pops of colour in your knitting, crochet or weaving than you would traditionally be used to from Telling Yarns. Expect the odd smudge of delicious colour (including black in Blue + Black Ajah).

"Bill and Fleur's cottage stood alone on a cliff overlooking the sea, its walls embedded with shells and whitewashed... Wherever Harry went inside the tiny cottage or its garden, he could hear the constant ebb and flow of the sea, like the breathing of some great, slumbering creature. He spent much of the next few days making excuses to escape the crowded cottage, craving the cliff-top view of open sky and wide, empty sea, and the feel of cold, salty wind on his face."

“Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.”
― Agatha Christie, A Pocket Full of Rye
I designed this colourway for a collaboration with John Arbon Textiles, the wonderful mill who spin all my yarns. We think it’s fun to make Agatha Christie inspired colourways together, as Agatha spent a period of her life living in North Devon where the mill now resides, plus all my yarns are named with literature in mind. I love the idea of a pocket full of dye pigment and the wonderful kaleidoscope of colours this might create - this was my attempt at capturing the uncapturable.

Ajah is the name given to one of the seven different groups of Aes Sedai: the Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, White, Gray, and Brown.
Some believe that there is a hidden Black Ajah devoted to the Dark One, but this is heavily denied by the White Tower.
This collection of colours includes a heavier colour application that offers some splatters, as well as speckles. I’ve taken the opportunity to capture bigger splashes of colour in this series alone, as it reflects the magical powers and intricacies of the women it’s inspired by and creates bigger pops of colour in your knitting, crochet or weaving than you would traditionally be used to from Telling Yarns. Expect the odd smudge of delicious colour (including black in Blue + Black Ajah).

100% undyed British non-superwash wool.
Almost ecru/white-cream colour with a slight dark flecking.
From spring 2025 the blend will gradually alter slightly to 65% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 5% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
(Spins prior to spring 2025 were a blend of 50% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 15% Masham | 5% Zwartbles - 100% British from farm to needle.)
I wanted a yarn that brought together drape, memory, lustre and bounce, with added depth and saturation of colour from the heathering of dark Zwartbles fibres, then topped off with a gentle halo . Worsted spun for a smooth and strong yarn, this custom blend has been designed to be the single yarn base that replaces all the yarns that have been stocked at Telling Yarns in the past.

Non-superwash.
A brand new melange of light/mid-grey/brown wool base, headed to the shop in spring 2025.
40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 30% Romney | 30% BFL 100% British from farm to needle.
Grey Exmoor Blueface maintains softness, while providing a vein of mid-grey/brown that pumps through the ecru Romney and BFL. For all those mid-tones in the Telling Yarns collection, that need both clarity and depth, there are the wonderful Dark Friends and Heart of the Dark bases. Sitting perfectly between the light shades of Resolute/Steadfast and the darkness of Night Gathers/Take the Black.

40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 20% BFL | 20% Romney | 20% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
Only 20% of the blend is white/ecru wool, with 40% a mid-grey/brown and the last 20% a darker black/brown. Bringing depth to the most saturated colours in the Telling Yarns collection, whilst retaining that flecked, almost tweed-like finish, to the hand-dyed nuances of tone. Not overly blended during gilling, so as to retain the clarity of a light yarn base within the streaks of darkness. It is the ultimate dark side to Resolute/Steadfast and knits perfectly with those and/or Dark Friends/Heart of the Dark.

“Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.”
― Agatha Christie, A Pocket Full of Rye
I designed this colourway for a collaboration with John Arbon Textiles, the wonderful mill who spin all my yarns. We think it’s fun to make Agatha Christie inspired colourways together, as Agatha spent a period of her life living in North Devon where the mill now resides, plus all my yarns are named with literature in mind. I love the idea of a pocket full of dye pigment and the wonderful kaleidoscope of colours this might create - this was my attempt at capturing the uncapturable.

"Bill and Fleur's cottage stood alone on a cliff overlooking the sea, its walls embedded with shells and whitewashed... Wherever Harry went inside the tiny cottage or its garden, he could hear the constant ebb and flow of the sea, like the breathing of some great, slumbering creature. He spent much of the next few days making excuses to escape the crowded cottage, craving the cliff-top view of open sky and wide, empty sea, and the feel of cold, salty wind on his face."

A Wheel of Time - Aes Sedai - the One Power distilled into colour on yarn!
Ajah is the name given to one of the seven different groups of Aes Sedai: the Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, White, Gray, and Brown.
Some believe that there is a hidden Black Ajah devoted to the Dark One, but this is heavily denied by the White Tower.
This collection of colours includes a heavier colour application that offers some splatters, as well as speckles. I’ve taken the opportunity to capture bigger splashes of colour in this series alone, as it reflects the magical powers and intricacies of the women it’s inspired by and creates bigger pops of colour in your knitting, crochet or weaving than you would traditionally be used to from Telling Yarns. Expect the odd smudge of delicious colour (including black in Blue + Black Ajah).

100% undyed British non-superwash wool.
Almost ecru/white-cream colour with a slight dark flecking.
From spring 2025 the blend will gradually alter slightly to 65% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 5% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
(Spins prior to spring 2025 were a blend of 50% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 15% Masham | 5% Zwartbles - 100% British from farm to needle.)
I wanted a yarn that brought together drape, memory, lustre and bounce, with added depth and saturation of colour from the heathering of dark Zwartbles fibres, then topped off with a gentle halo . Worsted spun for a smooth and strong yarn, this custom blend has been designed to be the single yarn base that replaces all the yarns that have been stocked at Telling Yarns in the past.

Non-superwash.
A brand new melange of light/mid-grey/brown wool base, headed to the shop in spring 2025.
40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 30% Romney | 30% BFL 100% British from farm to needle.
Grey Exmoor Blueface maintains softness, while providing a vein of mid-grey/brown that pumps through the ecru Romney and BFL. For all those mid-tones in the Telling Yarns collection, that need both clarity and depth, there are the wonderful Dark Friends and Heart of the Dark bases. Sitting perfectly between the light shades of Resolute/Steadfast and the darkness of Night Gathers/Take the Black.

40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 20% BFL | 20% Romney | 20% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
Only 20% of the blend is white/ecru wool, with 40% a mid-grey/brown and the last 20% a darker black/brown. Bringing depth to the most saturated colours in the Telling Yarns collection, whilst retaining that flecked, almost tweed-like finish, to the hand-dyed nuances of tone. Not overly blended during gilling, so as to retain the clarity of a light yarn base within the streaks of darkness. It is the ultimate dark side to Resolute/Steadfast and knits perfectly with those and/or Dark Friends/Heart of the Dark.

“Nobody believes in magicians any more, nobody believes that anyone can come along and wave a wand and turn you into a frog. But if you read in the paper that by injecting certain glands scientists can alter your vital tissues and you'll develop froglike characteristics, well, everybody would believe that.”
― Agatha Christie, A Pocket Full of Rye
I designed this colourway for a collaboration with John Arbon Textiles, the wonderful mill who spin all my yarns. We think it’s fun to make Agatha Christie inspired colourways together, as Agatha spent a period of her life living in North Devon where the mill now resides, plus all my yarns are named with literature in mind. I love the idea of a pocket full of dye pigment and the wonderful kaleidoscope of colours this might create - this was my attempt at capturing the uncapturable.

A Wheel of Time - Aes Sedai - the One Power distilled into colour on yarn!
Ajah is the name given to one of the seven different groups of Aes Sedai: the Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, White, Gray, and Brown.
Some believe that there is a hidden Black Ajah devoted to the Dark One, but this is heavily denied by the White Tower.
This collection of colours includes a heavier colour application that offers some splatters, as well as speckles. I’ve taken the opportunity to capture bigger splashes of colour in this series alone, as it reflects the magical powers and intricacies of the women it’s inspired by and creates bigger pops of colour in your knitting, crochet or weaving than you would traditionally be used to from Telling Yarns. Expect the odd smudge of delicious colour (including black in Blue + Black Ajah).

Gwen… It needed to capture the happy, warm pastel coral that radiates from Gwen and reflects onto Miles when they’re together. It needed some depth and brightness, plus flecks of teal from her ballet shoes. It needed to be soft and tender, yet an unapologetically punk punch of grungy pink.

100% undyed British non-superwash wool.
Almost ecru/white-cream colour with a slight dark flecking.
From spring 2025 the blend will gradually alter slightly to 65% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 5% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
(Spins prior to spring 2025 were a blend of 50% Bluefaced Leicester | 30% Romney | 15% Masham | 5% Zwartbles - 100% British from farm to needle.)
I wanted a yarn that brought together drape, memory, lustre and bounce, with added depth and saturation of colour from the heathering of dark Zwartbles fibres, then topped off with a gentle halo . Worsted spun for a smooth and strong yarn, this custom blend has been designed to be the single yarn base that replaces all the yarns that have been stocked at Telling Yarns in the past.

Non-superwash.
A brand new melange of light/mid-grey/brown wool base, headed to the shop in spring 2025.
40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 30% Romney | 30% BFL 100% British from farm to needle.
Grey Exmoor Blueface maintains softness, while providing a vein of mid-grey/brown that pumps through the ecru Romney and BFL. For all those mid-tones in the Telling Yarns collection, that need both clarity and depth, there are the wonderful Dark Friends and Heart of the Dark bases. Sitting perfectly between the light shades of Resolute/Steadfast and the darkness of Night Gathers/Take the Black.

40% Grey Exmoor Blueface | 20% BFL | 20% Romney | 20% Zwartbles 100% British from farm to needle.
Only 20% of the blend is white/ecru wool, with 40% a mid-grey/brown and the last 20% a darker black/brown. Bringing depth to the most saturated colours in the Telling Yarns collection, whilst retaining that flecked, almost tweed-like finish, to the hand-dyed nuances of tone. Not overly blended during gilling, so as to retain the clarity of a light yarn base within the streaks of darkness. It is the ultimate dark side to Resolute/Steadfast and knits perfectly with those and/or Dark Friends/Heart of the Dark.

A Wheel of Time - Aes Sedai - the One Power distilled into colour on yarn!
Ajah is the name given to one of the seven different groups of Aes Sedai: the Blue, Green, Yellow, Red, White, Gray, and Brown.
Some believe that there is a hidden Black Ajah devoted to the Dark One, but this is heavily denied by the White Tower.
This collection of colours includes a heavier colour application that offers some splatters, as well as speckles. I’ve taken the opportunity to capture bigger splashes of colour in this series alone, as it reflects the magical powers and intricacies of the women it’s inspired by and creates bigger pops of colour in your knitting, crochet or weaving than you would traditionally be used to from Telling Yarns. Expect the odd smudge of delicious colour (including black in Blue + Black Ajah). White Ajah only includes speckles, but does include black. It knits up as very simple, natural fabric, with little dots of colour interest here and there.

“I’m the Lady Cordelia de Montmorency, abducted by gypsies when I was three. I was born in a palace in Old Vienna, Danubian Waltzes my lullabies. And my father was Johann, with great moustaches, My mother Maria, with emerald eyes. If you’re wondering how I got here, I was kidnapped by this buccaneer, who took me to France and taught me to dance in his gypsy hide out in Tangier!”

Gwen… It needed to capture the happy, warm pastel coral that radiates from Gwen and reflects onto Miles when they’re together. It needed some depth and brightness, plus flecks of teal from her ballet shoes. It needed to be soft and tender, yet an unapologetically punk punch of grungy pink.

"Bill and Fleur's cottage stood alone on a cliff overlooking the sea, its walls embedded with shells and whitewashed... Wherever Harry went inside the tiny cottage or its garden, he could hear the constant ebb and flow of the sea, like the breathing of some great, slumbering creature. He spent much of the next few days making excuses to escape the crowded cottage, craving the cliff-top view of open sky and wide, empty sea, and the feel of cold, salty wind on his face."
