I am extremely happy with the care and personal attention I was afforded by Colette Yarns. They did not have enough of the yarn I ordered so they phoned me and offered me a substitute as well as fulfilling my original order as a complementary additional service. Both yarns were beautiful, and exactly what I wanted. The quality of Colinette's yarns, and the subtlety of their hand dyeing, makes these wools a joy to work with. I shall definitely be ordering more.

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.

The wool arrived wrapped in tissue paper, in a box, which, to me, shows how much the company cares about their products. This makes me want to order from them again, so I'd better get knitting!

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.

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….
