I’ve used a great deal of Skye yarn over the years - loved the yarn & the beautiful colours but it’s a great shame it’s been duscontued.

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.

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.

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.

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….
