Welcome!
Yay! We are back online! The website looks and works a little different than before but don’t worry, we tried to keep things as easy as possible. Some things haven’t changed. I still offer top-quality handdyed lace yarns that are dyed to order. Another thing that remained is the possibility to make custom shades for you, along with a number shades that make up the standard colour range. It's easy to do! Please read the instructions we put in the "Standard Colours" section.
When you are ready to order, please fill out the contact form and send it. You will receive an autoreply when your order is in our mailbox. I will send you a picture of your yarn when it's ready to be shipped. It will be shipped when you are happy with the yarn.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

This is a range of standard shades dyed on Lofty Lace. These are a good indication of the shade even when dyed on a different yarn base. Please keep in mind that due to screen settings colours can vary. I will send a picture of the dyed yarn before shipping to make sure you get the shade you want. If you want to order one of these shades on a different yarn base then click on the yarn base you want, click on "custom" and fill in the name of the shade. A window will open with different options and click the shade closest to the shade you want.
If you want a totally custom shade then play around with the colour selector until you get what you are looking for. Name your shade and I will do my best to match it.

Zokz
Not just for socks! 75% merino, 25% polyamid for extra strength. Machine washable so ideal for knits that get a lot of (ab)use.
- 100 grams, 425 metres
- €16.95
- 2,25-2,50 mm
Miss Namibia
100% Namibian Mohair. Not as soft as a kid mohair but not scratchy either. Takes the dye beautifully and makes the colours glow. As it is not as "floppy" as kid mohair your blocked shawl will keep its shape and show off the patterns perfectly for a long time. Only two 100 gram hanks are needed to make Paula Kibildis' Sorceress top.
- 100 grams, 800 metres
- €24.95
- 2,5-3 mm
Whisper
70% kid mohair, 30% silk This yarn is so soft I had to name it Whisper. It knits like a dream and is even very well behaved when knitted backwards or (heaven forbid) it needs to be frogged. Paula Kibildis made several designs with this yarn so make sure to check her Ravelry page. Due to the silk content this yarn may bleed a little when you are knitting it, especially in darker colours.
- 50 grams, 500 metres
- €22.5
- 2,5-3 mm
Lofty Lace
70% mohair, 30% British wool. Even though this yarn has 70% mohair in it, the yarn is not fluffy. This is because the mohair is spun worsted style which means the fibers are aligned lengthwise an nothing sticks out. This creates a smooth and supple yarn that knits up easily. The mohair has a pearl-like lustre that gives the yarn extra visual appeal when dyed. This yarn looks equally good in either bold shades or pastels.
- 100 grams, 1000 metres
- €32.95
- 2.25-3 mm
Perlace
100% merino, spun and plied high-twist. Due to the high twist in both spinning and plying a yarn is created that looks like a string of tiny pearls. I consider this to be the ideal yarn for a first lace project as it is soft and smooth but you can still see what you are doing. It holds its blocking very well and shows off knitted lace patterns beautifully.
- 100 grams, 1200 metres
- €32.95
- 2,25-2,50 mm
Mermaid Lace
75% merino, 25% sea algae silk. Soft, drapey and shiny. Sea algae silk is a man-made fiber made from seaweed (like bamboo yarns). It takes the dye a little differently than the merino which creates a shiny effect. Keep in mind that on darker colours the seaweed absorbs less dye than the merino so the total can look a bit lighter than you expect. Ideal for a summer lace shawl or a bridal shawl as the yarn base is quite white.
- 100 grams, 1500 metres
- €34.95
- 2-2,5 mm
Tweedy Lace
90% merino, 10% tencel. This yarn base is the only one here that is not a natural white but a natural beige or fawn colour. There are tiny nepps in this yarn that give a tweed-like effect in your knitting. As this yarn base is not white it will add warmth to the colour you choose and take the edge off with colours that would be too bright when dyed on a white base.
- 100 grams, 1500 metres
- €34.95
- 2-2,5 mm
Twinkle
99% merino, 1% micro sequins. Add a little bit of glamour to your knitting with tiny sequins that sparkle when you move. Perfect for a festive shawl or hold two strands together for a spectacular top. Gorgeous in tender pastels or very dramatic in - for instance - a bold colour like bright red or deep purple. Note: this yarn is plied quite loosely so make sure you get both plies on your needle while knitting!
- 100 grams, 1500 metres
- €39.95
- 2-2,5 mm
1-mile Merino
100% fine merino (19 micron) Why name it 1-mile merino? Well, 1600 metres is exactly one mile so that's why! A firm favourite with a lot of lace knitters! A joy to knit and dye, lends itself for a wide variety of lace-knitting styles. The micron-count tells you how fine the hairs are: the lower the number, the finer and softer the yarn. Anything above 26 micron is considered coarse wool, not next-to-skin soft. We can safely say this is a very soft yarn.
- 100 grams, 1600 metres
- €37.95
- 2-2,5 mm
Ultrafine Merino
100% ultrafine merino (13,5 micron) The finest merino we have in stock! Soft like cashmere, drapes like silk. Every shawl you make with it will feel like a soft, warm cloud.
- 100 grams, 2800 metres
- €56.95
- 1,5-2,25 mm
Yarn kit Through The Wood
A yarn kit for Paula Kibildis' design "Through the wood". Consists of one 100 gram hank of Twinkle and one 50 gram hank of Whisper. Choose your own colour combination in the yarn selector or state the combo of your dreams in the comment section. You can find the pattern in Paula's Ravelry store.
- 100 grams Twinkle, 50 grams Whisper
- €61.95
- 2,5-3,25
Yarn kit Maud's Cousin
Yarn kit for Paula Kibildis' design "Maud's Cousin". Maud's cousin uses four 50 gram hanks of Whisper. Two for the center (can be dyed in a two-step gradient) and two for the generous border. I have added two colour combinations I recently dyed to show a few possibilities. Anything goes so let me know which stunning combination I can dye up for you! The pattern for Maud's Cousin can be found in Paula's Ravelry store.
- 4 x 50 grams Whisper

Handspun yarns
If you like to work with handspun yarn but don't have the time or means to spin it yourself please let me know. I love to spin very fine yarns and have a big stash of wool, silk and alpaca to choose from. If you want a specific breed of sheep to be spun let me know. If I don't have it in stock I will probably be able to find it for you. Both the wools and the alpaca in stock are sourced from local hobby farmers that take excellent care of their animals. If you want a coloured yarn let me know. I can dye the fiber either before or after spinning, depending on the effect you are looking for.

About me
Hi! My name is Monique Dreef, indie dyer, spinner and enthusiastic lace knitter. Since the start of my business in 2013 my attention slowly shifted from Fair Isle towards lace knitting, especially Shetland Lace. Fine quality yarns are difficult to find so I decided to specialize more in dyeing and selling top-notch lace yarns. I love doing custom work in dyeing, spinning and knitting. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook to see what I'm up to next.
