A traditional chinese pastry in a small round or oval-shaped dumpling with soft, sticky glutinous rice flour skin wrapped around a sweet central filling.
Red tortoise cakes are shaped like tortoise shells because the Chinese traditionally believed that eating tortoises would bring longevity to those who are eating it and bring about good fortune and prosperity.

Dye Batches
Hand dyed yarn will vary slightly within dye lots due to the nature of the dyeing process so use the photos in the listing as a reference.
If you are planning to make something that requires more than one skein, it is best to order from the same dye batch.
Colourways will vary across bases due to the fibre content and plies.
Alternating Yarn
No two skeins are identical, that’s the beauty of handdyed yarn.
When using more than one skein of the same colourway in a project, it is recommended to alternate the skeins every couple of rows to reduce any colour pooling.
Care instructions
Hand wash in cold water and lay down to dry for better care.
Some images may be stock photos, dye batches may vary but closely resemble the photo as listed.
Please note that colours may appear differently depending on your monitor settings.
