Funfetti is the yarn version of birthday cake frosting straight from the bowl. Soft pastels with bright speckles. Imagine that like… you’re eating a birthday cake from the 2002 Zellers bakery and the cake lady went absolutely overboard with the sprinkles and honestly… good for her. Available in pink, teal, mint, yellow, orange, buttercream, and lavender, each colourway has its own personality while still keeping that same sweet, nostalgic Funfetti feel. Some feel like bakery frosting, some like cake batter, some like the cupcakes your mom brought to school as a kid. All of them are cute. Every skein is hand dyed, so the speckles and colour placement will vary a little from skein to skein. That’s part of the fun. No two come out exactly alike, which makes each one feel a little extra special. Soft, colourful, playful, and maybe just a tiny bit chaotic — exactly how Funfetti should be. When ordering, you can choose your preferred Funfetti colour (pick the item with the correct base colourway, and in each item you can select the yarn type from the dropdown menus below). When ordering, you can choose which yarn base you’d like from the dropdown menu.
