Stuck on colour? You're not alone. Here's how to train your eye, find inspiration everywhere, and build a palette you'll genuinely love - one project at a time.
From a small home studio in South Africa, with nothing but determination and a love of colour, to over 500 hand dyed shades loved by crafters around the world - this is the ColourSpun story. It started with a frustrating experiment or two, and a friend who changed everything. Pull up a chair and read how it all began.
Some stories begin with a grand plan. Ours began with scissors snipping, a chance conversation in a hair salon, and two women quietly carrying the same dream — years apart, miles apart, completely unaware of each other. This is the story of how Crochet & Craft Café by ColourSpun came to be.
