Anchor Bay Hand Paints brings the energy of handpainted colour to a practical, washable base. The 50/50 cotton and superwash merino blend gives you the breathability and drape of cotton alongside the softness and elasticity of merino: a combination that works well for garments, accessories, and anything you plan to wear regularly. The handpainting process means every skein is slightly different, with colour shifts and transitions that are impossible to predict and genuinely fun to knit. Machine washable and easy to care for.
bold, dramatic, and happiest in the spotlight
Anchor bay hand paints is a yarn that we would categorize as a diva. Some yarns are happy to support the pattern. This one prefers to be the star. Diva yarns bring luxurious fibres, bold colours, and textures that practically demand attention: perfect when you want your project to make an entrance.
Divas shine brightest when they’re given room to perform. Simple stitches and minimal colourwork let their character take the spotlight. They can handle more complicated patterns but rarely need them. Swatch carefully and follow laundering instructions to keep your star in top form.
