Vinni's Colours

Vinni's Colours is a yarn company based in Cape Town, South Africa who specialise in hand dyed cotton and bamboo yarns with a palette of over 200 colours. 

In 2004, Vinni Nielsen began to experiment with dyes in her kitchen and Vinni's Colours was born. Very quickly she needed to hire staff to skein and ball the yarns that were draped over her furniture and hanging up in the windows to dry. After 6 years she was finally able to move her rapidly expanding concern into larger premises but all processes are still done by hand, from the dyeing to the balling and skeining, and the yarn is sun-dried in the factory forecourt.
