Creating a custom Crochet UK yarn cake is a creative process that allows you to choose your preferred colours, ply, and length. Here are the steps to design your very own Crochet UK yarn cake:

• Determine Your Requirements:

  • Decide the length of yarn you need for your project.

  • Choose the ply (thickness) of the yarn you prefer, between 3 and 4 ply.

• Select Your colours:

  • Pick the colours you want for your yarn cake.

  • Refer to the picture of the yarn samples, and enter the article numbers corresponding to your chosen colours.

  • Keep in mind that the colour order in your yarn cake will start from the center and work its way out. Your first chosen colour will be at the center of the cake, followed by the second colour, and so on. The last chosen colour will be on the outside of the cake.

• Special Requests:

  • If you have specific colour change preferences that don't follow even set rates, specify them in the "Enter your request here" box.

• Order Processing:

  • Understand that your yarn cake is custom-made for you, so it may take a little longer before it's ready for shipping.

  • You will receive notifications if there are any major delays in processing your order.

By following these steps, crocheters and knitters can create a personalized yarn cake tailored to their project's needs and colour preferences. This service offers flexibility and customization for yarn enthusiasts.

The yarn cakes are plied not twisted. We added some beads to the centre pull to prevent the yarn from splitting whilst you are working with it. If you want to start your project with the outside colour first, just simply change the beads to the outside end of the yarn cake.

The colour changes are secured with tiny slip knots, which will be small enough to not be noticed in your finished work.
