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

Your yarn is absolutely gorgeous. However, the wool I ordered was not the colour I received. I emailed your customer service and was told to send it back. I did so and some days later the correct colour was sent to me. But, and this does matter, at no point did the person apologise to me or acknowledge the hassle and time spent for me having to return the wrong wool. When I received a new email with a tracking number from the delivery service, I had no idea what was happening, I just guessed it was the correct colour being sent. So I emailed the office to ask if this was the case: no reply.
I work with the public, and the easiest most effective thing one can do is be polite and keep people informed. I felt somewhat disappointed on both these scores.

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.

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….
