Why you'll love it

 Get behind our fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October 2026.

This year our exclusive limited edition colour pays tribute to the unbreakable courage of women on their breast cancer journey. Our lovely dyer Julia has created this stunning colour - Unbreakable - as our special, limited-edition skein for Breast Cancer Awareness month 2026 and to once again support - Knit for the Girls. Each skein of Unbreakable is a glowing, variegated delight of warm pink woven with delicious blue and yellow. Julia takes care to design variegated colourways using her own specially developed colour application technique - so colours transform and blend beautifully in the finished fabric without pooling.

She'll be dyeing batches of these special skeins throughout October, and we're thrilled to be able to offer them to you knowing 25% of sales will go to support breast cancer research and the work of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

This stunning colour Unbreakable is on preorder with the very latest shipping date 28/10/2026, but yarn will ship throughout October as it's dyed. Please note: other items purchased on your order will be held and shipped together with your yarn.

So grab your skein before they sell out! - They're perfect for those single skein projects, or a statement pair of socks (LOVE!). Use it on its own or hold it with fluffy mohair or suri for extra special warmth and texture. Every purchase will make an important contribution to breast cancer research.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.

Skein Sisters Yarns

Our own yarns were part of the dream from the very beginning – we always wanted a range that was truly ours. It started with Julia. She'd trained in fine art and printmaking, and one day we sent her off to a dyeing course on a hunch – she came back with colours so lovely we could have put them straight on the shelf. So we gave her a budget and six months to play, experiment and find her palette, and in January 2023 Skein Sisters Yarns was born.

Julia hand-dyes every skein herself in small batches – never more than eight to sixteen at a time – so each one carries that gentle depth and variation you only get by hand. What began in the kitchen of our office now happens in her own dedicated studio, tucked into the old beautician behind our shop.

We dye onto our own exclusive bases, milled for us from Australian merino, and we're slowly growing the range – we can never resist a luxurious fibre like silk. The palette has grown past 140 colours, always shifting as we retire old favourites and dream up new ones, with special shades and limited editions along the way.

Best of all, every colour can be dyed to order – so you can have almost any shade on almost any base, coloured especially for you.

Skein Sisters Yarns are hand-dyed in Dulwich Hill in Sydney, Australia, on the country of the Bedigal, Wangal and Kameygal people of the Eora Nation.
