Looking for soft, breathable cotton yarn with rich, hand-dyed character?
 
Huasco Cotón Kettle Dyes is a light fingering-weight (3ply) yarn made from 100% cotton and hand-dyed in small batches by artisans in Türkiye. With its smooth texture, generous yardage and beautifully nuanced colours, this yarn is a dream for makers who love softness, stitch definition and a painterly finish to their projects.
 
Whether you’re searching for where to buy cotton yarn in Australia or after a truly special plant-based yarn for warm-weather garments and accessories, Huasco Cotón Kettle Dyes brings artisanal beauty to every stitch.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Huasco Cotón Kettle Dyes is dyed using traditional kettle-dyeing techniques, where small batches of yarn are lovingly immersed in handcrafted colourways. The result? Subtle shifts in tone, layered depth and a unique look that gives your project soul.
 
Because each hank is dyed individually, no two skeins are exactly alike, adding personality to your makes. We recommend alternating skeins every few rows to blend colour shifts beautifully and achieve a consistent fabric.
 
Made in Türkiye and spun with care, this yarn is perfect for those who want the softness of cotton with a more elevated, artistic feel.

Huasco Cotón Kettle Dyes is lightweight, soft and gorgeously dyed, making it ideal for delicate summer projects, baby items or accessories that call for breathable drape and standout colour.
