2026 April colour of the Month - Dyed to order - Tides

For our April colour of the month we are using one of the prettiest blue/greys in the Green Tea Yarn's line up - Tides.

Tides is a quietly shifting blend of blues, aqua, and soft greys—like the ocean under changing light. Its tonal variation is gentle rather than bold, offering depth without distraction. At first glance, it may read as a cool blue, but closer inspection reveals hints of seafoam, misty grey, and even a touch of slate. The colours drift into each other smoothly, creating a yarn that is calm but never flat. Ideal for projects where you want texture and visual interest without strong contrasts, Tides is understated, elegant, and endlessly versatile.

Get it at 20% off and Dyed to Order to allow for larger quantities to be dyed in one dyelot - this is one of those colours that does seem to vary considerably between dyelots.

I'm leaving up our dyed to order colours of 2025 so you can still select those- they will be deleted as the month ends in 2026. 

I try to arrange a good range of yarn options.
