2026 March colour of the Month - Dyed to order - Banksia

For our March colour of the month we are returning to one of the most trusted and repeated colours in the Green Tea Yarn's line up - Banksia.

Get it at 20% off and Dyed to Order to allow for larger quantities to be dyed in one dyelot.

Banksia is a quietly confident, woodsy green drawn from the stillness of the Australian bush. Inspired by the leaves of the Banksia tree, this colour leans earthy and grounded rather than bright, offering depth without drama. It carries the muted complexity of foliage in shifting light — settled, natural, and effortlessly wearable.

There is a softness to Banksia that makes it easy to live with. It pairs beautifully with warm neutrals, gentle pinks, smoky blues and deeper forest tones, creating combinations that feel considered rather than showy. As a standalone shade, it holds its own with understated strength.

This is green in its more thoughtful form — organic, balanced, and quietly enduring.

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.
