Guide to Yarns on our Site

We understand how difficult it can be to find the right yarn for a project when there are so many options are available. Our new 'Guide to Yarns on our Site' is a great place to start.

Here, we've put together a catalogue of all the yarns on our site.  You can then browse through yarns of a particular ply, style or fibre depending on your needs or interest. 

After a yarn from a certain manufacturer, such as Patons, Heirloom, Cleckheaton or Debbie Bliss?  Use the handy filter at the top of each page in our Knitting Yarns category. 

We hope this tool comes in handy when you next visit our site!

A new 8ply Budget Yarn joins our range



We warmly welcome Shepherd Very Crafty 8ply to our Budget category.

At just $6.95 per ball, Very Crafty comes in at just $3.50 per 50 grams, making it an ideal choice for knitters on a budget who still prefer to use pure natural fibre yarns for their work.

Shepherd Very Crafty 8ply is a pure 100% wool yarn, available in large 100 gram balls.  Unlike many pure wool yarns at this price point, Very Crafty is gentle machine washable, making it much easier to care for.

Knitted at a standard tension of 22sts and 30 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch using 4mm needles, Shepherd Very Crafty 8ply wool is suitable for most 8ply patterns. 

We'll be expanding the range of Very Crafty shades available in our store over coming weeks as they arrive in our warehouse, so stay tuned!
