A Note on Colours

Please note that colours may vary depending on your monitor and printer settings. As a result, we recommend using this cotton yarn colour catalogue as an approximate guide rather than an exact colour match. For the most accurate colour reference, however, nothing beats seeing the yarns in person!

Tip: Quite a few crafters have found it helpful to keep a full set of embroidery threads on hand as a colour reference. Get yours here →

What Our Customers Say

Here’s what makers are saying about the ColourSpun cotton yarn colour catalogue:

Hannelie Bekker – 02/06/2023 “I started using ColourSpun yarns 5 years ago and love working with them. They all feel wonderful, whatever the composition. In addition the range of colours and the way the shades connect with each other is very unusual and opens up lovely creative possibilities.”

Dawn Macklin – 23/09/2025 “The most incredible yarn I have ever worked with! Dana was super helpful in putting together a custom colorway for me based off of a photo I emailed to her. Considering shipping was international, I received it in a very appropriate amount of time. The quality is outstanding and so soft! The colors are amazing! I have not been able to find anything comparable in the US and am planning on using ColourSpun exclusively from now on!”
