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.

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!
As always excellent efficient service. Many thanks
Bought a big armful of lovely colours of Hullabaloo in the sale. So far they are knitting up beautifully - one or two of the colours weren't quite as expected, but monitors can differ and most of the ones I chose are lovely. Knitting with them is satisfying. Just wish I could afford some of the pricier ones!
Stunning yarn as ever. Lovely packaging.
Lovely feeling yarn, not knitted it up yet but looking forward to it
Love point five. I use it on my embellishing machine. I made a cushion cover and the colours are gorgeous.
Sam was able to locate a skein of Jitterbug yarn that I needed to complete a project. I was thrilled to receive it before the holidays and was able to finish the shawlette in time for gift-giving. A big thank you to Sam for the great service and getting the yarn to me in the U.S. so quickly.
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!
The service and delivery were fine. I found the website good for images of the stock, but could not get the hang of ‘I am a robot’ questions. I had to get my husband to navigate it for me!

Super Chunky Point Five yarn freshly dyed
- Sorry, this product cannot be purchased.
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….
