Yarnia is the only yarn shop where you can design your very own custom blend of yarn, and buy it by the pound. You choose the fiber, color, thickness, and amount, and we'll wind up your custom cone of yarn for you right on the spot!
First time visiting us? Here's how it works!
Take note! Our Custom Yarn Creator works best from a computer, or a mobile device whose screen is larger than your phone. There is magic happening here, and it'll be worth waiting until you're in front of that computer!
The color swatches you see below are the "ingredients" you can use to design your own custom blend of yarn. Drag up to six different strands to your palette at the bottom of the screen until you've achieved your desired yarn weight and fiber combination (keep an eye on the meter in the bottom right corner to see the yarn weight change in real-time).
Here are some tips to get you started:
Click thumbnails to see larger image and additional information.
To build a solid color, drag the same swatch to fill multiple slots in your palette.
Bamboo is a heavy fiber, and will skew the thickness meter at the bottom of the screen (i.e. the meter says Worsted weight, but in actuality it may only be a DK weight).
Don't forget to enter the amount you'd like in the box near the top of the screen -- this can be in yards, ounces, grams, or pounds.
If you would like to order multiple cones, you'll have the option to return and create another after clicking "Add to cart."
Your Choice!
(Please note: toggling between the two after adding swatches to your palette will clear your selection.)
How much yarn do you need?
[What if I don't know?]
If you don't have a specific project in mind, we recommend 8 oz. as a good amount to play around with. This will be enough for a few small projects, or a decent-size scarf.
Otherwise, here are recommended amounts for some of the most popular projects our customers like to make:
