Lovely wool, perfect customer service and beautifully delivered. The only space for improvement is that I would like to see a knitted example of the yarn on your website.
Speedy and efficient delivery and beautifully wrapped.
Prompt delivery. Beautiful packaging and excellent customer service as always with Colinette. Probably my favourite yarns to knit with ever
Love point five. I use it on my embellishing machine. I made a cushion cover and the colours are gorgeous.
Sam lovely to deal with. Red Panda beautiful, knitting with it a pleasure.
Excellent product and service.
As always, I love the yarns I buy from you. The depth and vibrancy of colors is unparalleled. I hope in time more yarns are added back into your catalogue.
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 wasn't sure how shipping would go with me being in the EU but everything was great and the yarn was here so quickly!
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.
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 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.
I love the website and great service as always. Oh and of course the yarn is perfection, I do miss Art though.
Easy ordering. Prompt delivery.
lovely wool lovely colours , delivered quickly
Beautiful yarns but wished there was more variety-maybe ribbon.
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.

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.

southern Italy where the beautiful sunlight starts the magic….
