Indie dyed yarn inspired by artists and their colour pallet. I ship my yarn worldwide from my base in Cheshire, England.

It’s time for some Christmas yarn magic!

My 2026 Christmas collection is here! From the mischievous greens of The Grinch to Nordic Noel, Winter Poinsettia and HoHo Holly, there’s plenty of festive inspiration to get you excited for winter knitting. And yes, every colourway is available on a sparkle base for that extra bit of Christmas magic! ✨

🎃 Pumpkin Patch is also now ready to ship! This set was originally part of a Mystery Yarn Club, but I dyed a few extra sets for spooky season. With Halloween next weekend, now’s the perfect time to grab one if you missed it the first time!

Shop both now via the link in my bio!

🎄✨ Cosy Christmas Knits ✨🎄

Our next Christmas yarn shade reveal is here, and it’s all about Cosy Christmas Knits! Because is there anything more magical for us makers than casting on something wonderfully cosy to knit for Christmas? 🧶❤️

Think the most gorgeous, velvety-soft Christmas tones, perfect for all your festive knitting dreams. This special set features a mix of minis and full 100g skeins, giving you the perfect palette for creating something truly cosy and Christmassy. 🎁✨

🎄 The shop update goes live at 8am on Saturday!

These shades are available in limited quantities, and once they’re gone, they’re gone — there won’t be a restock!

So, if these cosy Christmas colours are calling your name, make sure you set those reminders. You won’t want to miss this one! ❤️🧶

🎄✨ It’s Christmas yarn time! ✨🎄

🎅 Set your reminders, because the Christmas shop update is happening on Saturday 24th October at 8am! 🎄

First up, I’m so excited to share this festive beauty with you! ❤️

✨ Say hello to Ho Ho Holly! ✨

To me, this is Christmas in a skein! 🎄❤️ Chrismast tree green with those classic pops of red, isn’t this just the most Christmassy shade ever? It’s giving all the festive feels, and I absolutely love it!

All my Christmas colourways have been dyed on Sparkle 4ply, DK and standard sock yarn, so there’s something for everyone to cast on with this festive season. 🧶✨

🎁 A little heads-up: quantities are limited, and these festive beauties won’t be dyed again, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

✨ Back at the loom! ✨

I haven’t had my loom out for ages, and this scarf has been waiting patiently since last winter. The weather changed, life got busy, and somewhere along the way I lost my weaving mojo. 🧶

But last night I finally picked it up again, and oh, how I loved every minute! ❤️ Sometimes all it takes is getting back to something you love to find that spark again.

The yarn is just my vibes through and through! 😍 The warp is last year’s Christmas set, A Thousand Little Lights, and the weft is Specked Frida Kahlo. Such a gorgeous combination, and I’m so excited to see how it all comes together.

I can’t wait to get this beauty off the loom and see it in all its finished glory. I’ve got a feeling it won’t be long now! ✨🧣

After my Dolly Does Yarndale skein SOLD OUT within the first few hours at Yarndale, I knew I couldn’t let those down who missed out so I knew I HAD to create a Dolly Parton inspired colourway too.

This is my tribute to the late, great Dolly Parton, and it had to be rainbow. Dolly was such a bright and colourful person, and I wanted the yarn to capture that same sense of colour, vibrancy and joy, with a little nod to Coat of Many Colors.

Pre-orders are open now and open for a limited time.🌈
Head over to TheYarnArtist.com to order.

Choose multiple 100g skeins, a set of 8 minis, or a combination of both.

This is a mystery, pre-order-only colourway, with pre-orders shipping by the end of October.

Wow!! What an incredible Yarndale - our best yet! We loved meeting lots of new faces and of course all the familiar ones too. It's been an exhausting, but very fun weekend doing yarn stuff, we've had such a great time. Thank you to everyone who came by our stall to say hello, pick up a skein of yarn or pattern 😊 our next stop is Christmas Wool Show in Birmingham in November, and I've got lots to dye up to bring with me. Also thanks to everyone who bought Dolly and Little Robin Redbreast, you guys were so amazing and it sold out so quickly, but watch this space for some exciting new mystery pre-orders coming soon 😍
