Is Valentine's Day a greeting card holiday?  Yeahhhhh, it really is.

But the truth is that it's also a fabulous opportunity to stop for a moment and show someone important to you (or yourself) a little love.

Even though the holiday may feel a little schmaltzy, it's really important to recognise the relationships that bring so much meaning and richness to our lives. 

So whether it's a romantic Valentine's Day gesture or a Galentine's Day gift for a dear friend (or yourself!), we're celebrating those important relationships with some special one-of-a-kind Small Batches dyed in deep, rich colourways. Some are available as individual skeins and some as specially coordinated sets, so look through them and find the one that feels most special to you, and let it give some stunning colour to your Valentine's or Galentine's Day!

Important notes:
  • some yarns are priced per individually per skein and some are per coordinated set
  • yarn in your cart is actually yours only once you've completed check out, so you'll need to be fast. 
  • these Small Batches are the result of us playing with colour, so no two skeins are a perfect match. Please be aware of this when you place your order.

At SpaceCadet, we passionately believe that knitting and crocheting make people happier deep down inside and that nothing does that more than working with gorgeous, vibrant yarn. For us, dyeing is a cosmic adventure -- a wonderful process of mixing each shade by hand from primaries and seeing where the colour takes us. The result is yarn that is as exciting for you as it is for us. Come with us and explore the farthest reaches of SpaceCadet colour!


Very Important Stuff: All hand-dyed yarns can vary between and within dyelots and their true beauty is the individuality in every skein.  Please be sure to order enough yarn for your project, to reduce the chance of differences between your skeins.  If you'd prefer to reduce any variation in your project, we recommend alternating skeins every two rows in your project. Please remember that our photos are as accurate as possible, but the colours you see also depend on your computer monitor's settings. Where there are multiple skeins pictured, each is sold separately.
