Because knitting is so enjoyable for me,I knit with wool that is special and I discovered Colinette many years ago and I now combine the yarns I have recently bought with Colinette yarns I have stored away here.I used to teach knitting to the junior school where my children went and I traveled to Wales and bought all sorts!Colinette is inspiring and I am so very pleased I have found you again.The packaging is excellent and the colours and texture beautiful and a pleasure to work.Thank you Sam and all at Colinette Kind regards

Beautiful yarns. I used to buy these regularly but the shop closed down and I’ve been without them for some years. I was delighted to find your website. I love making scarves with them. The textures of the wool are beautiful for these.

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 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. Have used Colinette yarns for many years. Delighted they are being sold again. My recent purchases have been sent, safely wrapped, in a timely manner; complete with tracking information. Some months ago I placed an order for three skeins of a discontinued yarn. Sam contacted me to alert me to the fact that one skein, whilst the same color way, was quite different from the other two. I had the option of dropping that skein from my order. I appreciated the attentiveness and care.

I was so thrilled to find a few hanks of the sadly discontinued Skye in the recent sale that I bought as much as I could. Delivery was as swift & safe as always.

I haven't used my yarn yet so can't comment on the yarn itself.But hand painted yarn is very beautiful and my yarn came in a wonderful package making it particularly suitable for a gift.However ,the beauty of the yarn makes it expensive too and therefore rather outside my means unless in a sale.
Would it be worthwhile giving the buyer the choice of beautifully wrapped or simply packaged so as to save money on the latter?
The advice given has been prompt and helpful and the scarf pattern is excellent value for money and inspiring.

I look forward to your next sale 😍

Very pleased with the lovely box of goodies that arrived. Excellent service and product. The wool chosen hopefully will become a woven top or jacket at some point in the future. Thank you Colinette for the choice of yarns available.

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….
