Expertly hand dyed yarns and fibres
for your best handmade crafting

Eleanor Shadow uses the best fibres and professional grade dyes to give you the finest yarn and spinning wools you deserve. Life is too short to use nothing but the loveliest crafting materials, am I right?

We source our fleeces locally, process our wools in small batches using the gentlest methods and dispose of dyes responsibly.

Our yarns come from UK-based, mulesing-free suppliers. Our stitch markers are enamel instead of plastic. Whenever possible, our packaging is 100% plastic-free and compostable.

Yarns hand spun and hand dyed by Eleanor Shadow

Do your knees go weak at the thought of well placed speckles in your yarn? Maybe you yearn for that special skein of textured hand spun? Worry not, I got you.

Hand dyed wools and fibres

Hand dyed fibre is playful and fun. Spin it or felt to make it your own.
Whether your cup of tea is retina-scorching colour or delicate pastels, you'll find your special thing here.
