Mint Fabric’s Recycled Sari Silk yarn is lustrous and buttery. It is handspun in India and manufactured from long length fibres. This ensures a smooth finish and a non splitting yarn.

There is tight spin on these skeins, and the fibre colours overlap at about 3cm distances, which creates bands of double-colour all down the yarn. This is a smooth yarn.

The vibrant colors and unique texture of these silk yarns are inspirational to designers, knitters, and artisans.

Suggested needle size: As the skeins are variable, I’d sugest from 5mm – 7mm. YMMV

Each skein in unique in its random jewel-like colours, however, they all have one predominant colour. Therefore, please note on your order from what colour family you would like your skein(s) choosen.

Note that I hold a quanitity in stock, but I don’t have anything in the colour you want, or if you want it quick or need more skeins of a particular colour than I have the yarn will then come to you direct from the mill. The transit time for delivery to the UK is 10-12 working days. Shipping is already included in the above price.

Please note that when they arrive, these yarns smell of “India” – Patchouli, spice and musty humidity. This smell fades over time in your stash, (I must admit, I rather like it, but it is not to everyone’s taste!) They also benefit from a “wash and set” before use, as this will fluff and relax the fibres. After-care of your garments is Hand washing in cool water and dry flat. You can also get them hand dry cleaned.

This yarn is made from Cheviot fibre, a rare breed that is used in the Harris Tweed industry. Like all things Scottish it is tough and hard wearing, with no nonsense about it.

Use 6-8mm needles with this one, Should felt well as it is a long hair and after all, tweed is a felted material!

Alpaca is buttery soft, so it feels fantastic, and is also hollow so retains heat better than pretty much all other Animal fibres.

Just one unique skein, and enough for an ultra warm hat.

Knit on 6mm needles.

This is a yarn in our Self Striping range. After all, why should only the sock knitters have all fun of patterns with no effort?

Perfect for baby knits, as it is both soft and will take a turn through the machine with ease, the 3 colours are about 3.75m in length on the skein.

Use 6mm needles and some fun!

1 Skein, perfect for some frilly edging or making a small toy.
Dyed in the same bath as Berry Danish, using a “colour blending” techinique, this is quite a stiff yarn, so why not use it for something felted?

Knits on 5mm needles, or use 7mm if you are going to felt it.

The base yarn here is Laine du Nord Korall.
It is very soft, and the spin gives the yarn a very rope like appearance.
Dyed using a “Point and Squirt, then overdye” Technique.
