St Ives Collection – Solar Dye Kit

Capture the colours of the Cornish coast with the St Ives Collection Solar Dye Kits. Inspired by the ever-changing light, sea and shoreline around St Ives, these complete natural dye kits allow you to create your own beautifully dyed British wool yarn using the gentle process of solar dyeing.

Choose from two coastal colourways:

Sand & Seashells
Inspired by the golden beaches of St Ives, this palette reflects warm sunlit sand, weathered shells and soft coastal light. Expect gentle shades of honey, pale pink, warm cream and subtle sandy neutrals, creating a beautifully natural skein reminiscent of a peaceful day by the sea.

Kelp
Inspired by looking down from a boat into the clear waters around St Ives, this colourway captures the graceful movement of kelp forests beneath the surface. Rich olive greens, soft seaweed tones, blue-greens and cool ocean hues blend together to create a layered palette full of depth and character.

Designed for beginners and experienced natural dyers alike, each kit contains everything you need to produce your own unique skein of naturally dyed yarn. The natural dyes and mordant are carefully pre-measured, making the process simple, enjoyable and easy to achieve at home.

Simply add water, layer the ingredients in the jar, place it in a sunny spot and let the warmth of the sun slowly develop beautiful, lasting colours. Every skein is unique, ensuring that no two projects are ever exactly the same.

Each kit includes:

• 100g cream 4ply yarn
• Pre-measured natural dyes
• Pre-measured mordant
• Full step-by-step illustrated instructions

No specialist equipment is required—just sunshine, water and a little patience.

Create your own piece of the Cornish coastline and enjoy the slow, sustainable art of natural dyeing with the St Ives Collection.

Perfect for knitters, crocheters, weavers, spinners and anyone who loves colour, creativity and the landscapes of Cornwall. These solar dye kit colours co-ordinate with these naturally dyed yarns….
