About us

Founded in 2008 by Julie Colquitt, Yarn Yarn is a UK-based ethical online yarn shop dedicated to eco-friendly, handmade yarns sourced directly from women's co-operatives and small communities in rural India.

Every skein is lovingly spun and dyed by skilled artisans carrying generations of tradition. These aren't just materials — they're woven with stories of resilience, creativity, and community.

By choosing Yarn Yarn, you support fair trade, sustainable practices, and the livelihoods of the talented women who make each yarn truly special.

What we offer Our carefully curated collection includes recycled sari silk ribbons and yarns, organic khadi cotton, banana fibre, organic peace silk, and raw silk waste for hand-spinning — each with its own personality, colour, and story.

Why it matters For over 19 years, we've built a loyal global community of fibre artists united by a love of beautiful, purposeful materials. Together, we keep ancient crafting traditions alive, reduce waste, and help alleviate poverty in the communities we work with.

Create with purpose. Honour the makers.
