Knitting yarns for every project
It’s always nice to discover the perfect yarn for your project. Whether you are fashioning knitwear to reflect the latest trends or are crafting gifts for the grandkids, you will find the right yarn here at Karelia House. There’s a rainbow of colours to work with together with incredible textures. Wonderful worsteds and a plethora of double knitting yarns will vie for your attention and inspire new ideas.
Knitting yarn fibres
We all refer to yarns as wool, but of course many yarns aren’t wool at all! We do have wonderful natural wools for you to choose from but also mohair, cashmere, cotton, polyester and acrylic yarns. Your needles will be very busy indeed when you treat yourself to gorgeous mohair and silk blends for the lightest scarfs or soft and gentle yarns designed to caress babies’ skin.
Chasing the rainbow
Colour excites, inspires and enables us to shine. It’s the primary reason why we are attracted to the clothing and accessories that we choose. Our knitting yarn range features amazing shades and colourful effects to work with. Choose from perfect pinks, beautiful blues, ravishing reds or subtler tones and experiment with self-striping, ombre, marled and heathered yarns.
Personal taste and your project
Your choice of yarn will be partly project-dependant and partly a matter of personal taste. Our extensive and diverse range ensures that you will find the right knitting yarns for every piece. Whether you are crafting a colourful showstopper or something more practical that’s machine washable, you will never exhaust the possibilities of our knitting yarns.
