Fabulous New Heirloom Color Works


Have a look at this fabulous new yarn from Heirloom. Heirloom Color Works is a 100% pure fine merino yarn, proudly made in Australia. It is clear that the lively colour palette was designed with children in mind, with 24 bright and toning colours to choose from. Create knits that children will love and cherish, whilst indulging your own passion for working with beautiful shades and soft handling natural fibres.

Knitters Hint: when designing your own unique garments, shades selected from the one row in the picture above will work best together. They are organised into Pastels, Mid-Tones, Bright Tones and Deep Tones.


To complement the new Color Works yarn, Heirloom has released a book of childrens patterns for children aged 1-10. Simply titled "Color Works", the 10 designs were created with the preferences and growth of children in mind; the necks are loose, the fit is for growing bodies and many of the jumpers have side vents. The designs include cardigans, hats, vest, jacket, scarves, fingerless gloves and headband. We are also offering the pattern book at a special introductory price for a limited time.
