I love your yarn and knitting with it. It’s an interesting variety of textures and colours. I can remember visiting your premises in Wales. It was like visiting a sweet shop when I was a child, I’m in my 70’s. I wish you well in the future. And long may I continue to knit with your yarns.

Excellent service altogether with a very swift response to an extra skein needed. The quality is equal to previous buys from the old Colinette. The packaging is exceptional, as if it is a present ie purple yarn wrapped in purple tissue paper in a black box. It is wonderful to see Colinette back!

Wonderful yarn, excellent service and prompt delivery, beautifully packaged. My one slight niggle would be that I didn't find it easy to visualise what I was getting from the photo on the website. I was expecting a blend including dark green which turned out to be blue.

A kaleidoscope of hand dyed yarn awaits

Colinette and myself (her son) welcome all knitters, textile creators, and lovers of fabulously coloured fibres.  We wish to invite you on an exploration of our scrumptious hand dyed yarns. Colinette Yarns has been hand dyed yarn specialists for nearly 40 years now and just like the very first days on our kitchen stove, we still follow my father’s book of spells and incantations. He was a true artist who craved colour. Each skein of yarn from wool to cotton is dyed in small pasta pots, a nod to our times in Italy. I could tell you so much and will do, but for now sit back and enjoy our world of stunning colours. Created by us artists for artists… yes that is you.

I love my boxes of yarn. I enjoy the time taken to choose what to do with it. Maybe a bit of weaving this time. I love the shawls and blankets I knit. I made a jumper that is ideal for these cool mornings before the sun warms up. So happy with the collection of different yarns

Always happy to receive the beautifully packed wool.
It takes the time it takes to arrive, living abroad.
Costs were OK this time, only 38 E extra.
The quality and unique color blends make the extra costs
worthwhile. Love Colinette Yarns.

I love receiving my Colinette parcels. The mixture of colours fills me with anticipation with what I can do with the beautiful yarn. I fancy a big throw for next winter, maybe diamond pops of colours. Who knows until I start. But many thanks

I took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free sale in a BIG WAY. Sam was concerned that maybe my credit card information had been compromised, and he contacted me to doublecheck that I had indeed purchased that much yarn. - This goes well beyond customer service!

Super Chunky Point Five yarn freshly dyed

Vibrancy, Love, Passion, Yarn, Wool and Fibre

The purity and intense bursts of colour that we paint onto our hand dyed yarns are straight from the playbook of artists like Turner, Monet and Giotto. We blend shades from primary colours just as the masters have done down through the ages.

colinette's Journey

The road that led Colinette to play with hand painted yarn
and fibre started out many years ago. There was something very tactile about
super chunky wool that embraced the jewel- like colours. I called this slub yarn
‘Point Five’ and it became Colinette Yarns’ signature dish.

Other fibres followed. Silks, textured chenille, soft mohair
and finer sock wool to name but a few. All waiting to be hand dyed.

 

Let’s go back to the early 1970s and meet the two creators.
Colinette a textile artist and her artist painter partner Geoff. The setting is
southern Italy where the beautiful sunlight starts the magic….
