Over and above attention and care
Really lovely, my birthday present from my husband, all ready in tissue paper and boxed. I am thrilled that you are producing your wonderful yarns again. I made many visits to Llanfair Caereinion in the past and hope to come up to Marlborough in the future.
I love Colinette yarns & also receive exemplary service!
Beautiful yarn in wonderful mixtures of colours, fetchingly named - my favourite mix is called 'Monet' and truly reflects the artist
Why would I order my yarn from Britain when I’m in Canada. The main reason, of course is top quality wools. The other many reasons can be seen on one of the best websites I go to regularly - breathtaking colour, succinct info and, lately, marvellously written, funny and quirky emails and blogs from the company’s new HQ in Wiltshire. Got a missive today from ‘Sam’ about entanglement and using expressions like ‘Bazinga,’ ‘Whammo’ and ‘like a plate of spaghetti arrabiata’. Makes one want to run to the chesterfield and turn out a bunny hug or a toque. Nothing dull about these yarn spinners. Brightens up a Canuck winter with “Vibrancy, Love, Passion, Yarn, Wool and Fibre.” Thanks, Colinette.
Several years ago I found a Colette knitting booklet at a thrift store. At the time I couldn't find your yarn and was told the company had closed. I was so thrilled to find you again. I love the chunky colors!
Wool was just beautiful. I did have some problems with the pattern but Colinette have gone the extra mile to help me complete my project. Thank you.
It is magnificent yarn and delivery was fine
I absolutely love your thick and thin yarns. Fabulous to work with x

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 had an unusual problem, but Sam at Colinette was incredibly helpful and great to communicate with. I had run out of yarn in the middle of a project. Sam sent numerous photos, and we went back and forth over email until the right yarns were selected and ordered. My order arrived from the UK to the US 10 days ago, and I have been happily knitting away, combining and replacing bits of the old yarn with the new. The yarn is beautiful, and it matches well with the old skeins. The colors are gorgeous, and the wool is lovely in my hands. Thank you Sam and Colinette Yarns for all your help and for your spectacular yarn.
Utterly fabulous yarn, beautifully packaged, and swiftly dispatched, thank you!
I love your yarns. The only problem is which one(s) to choose. The colours and textures are all glorious! Many thanks for my recent order which arrived promptly and was beautifully packaged, as usual.
Excellent response and the beautiful yarn arrived in a stylish black box wrapped in tissue paper

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….
