Budget Yarns now available at Knitting Yarns by Mail

We know you love to knit with the finest natural fibre yarns available; but there are times when the garment you are making or your budget just doesn't justify it. For these occasions, our new Budget Yarns section is the perfect solution.

Here, we've put together a collection of some of the best yarns available for those with value in mind. You'll find an affordable range of yarns in both natural and man-made fibres, with a wide selection of shades to choose from. Many of the yarns are machine washable as an added bonus.

In order to make it into our Budget section, a yarn must cost no more than $4.00 per 50 grams - so whilst some yarns in the section may cost more, they are available in larger balls.

Old friends joining our new Budget section include Panda Feltable Wool, a pure Australian wool yarn at the amazing price of just $3.50 per 50 gram ball. Patons FiFi also made the cut at just $2.95 per 50 gram ball. Patons FiFi has quickly become a favourite, and with the added bonus of our free 'Fun With FiFi' collectable pattern cards with every purchase, it now represents better value than ever.



New to Budget Yarns is Heirloom Dazzle, and at just $2.25 per 50grams we're expecting this yarn to rapidly gain popularity. With 15 shades to choose from, there's something to suit every savvy knitter.

And for a limited time, Patons Big Baby 4ply joins our range. At just $2.75 per 50 grams, Big Baby is both gentle on delicate newborn skin, and easy on the eye in its soft pastel palette. Get in before it's all sold out!
