About Artyarns
A frustration many serious knitters share is the lack of availability of beautiful, hand-dyed yarn - especially on the web. It's all very well buying hand-dyed yarn at knitting festivals, workshops and events but what most knitters want is to be able to buy quality, hand-dyed yarns from a local yarn store. Artyarns is the answer for many knitters as it is a producer of quality, hand-dyed yarns that are available in over 200 wool and knitting stores.
Artyarns Yarn Information
Artyarns Yarn was founded in 2002 in White Plains, New York. The company has already established a reputation for producing innovative knitting patterns and gorgeous hand-dyed yarns. ArtYarns offers yarns from silk to cashmere, embellished and plain, with an emphasis on wool and silk fibers. All yarns are offered in multiple colorways that range from nearly solid to wildly contrasting.
No smaller yarn company offers the same breadth of yarns and colors, and still so unique a product, and still get the the right balance of materials, colors, pricing, design support, and distribution. The dedication to high quality fiber, not just unique handmade yarns, sets the company apart. The company also supports their unique, handcrafted yarns with a stunning variety of stylish knitting patterns, many of them free, to complement the beautiful yarns available from Artyarns. They also provide knitting support and advice via their blog, their presence on ravelry.com, and via IrisKnits.com, the founders own blog.

From Artyarns Regal Silk Yarn to totally Luxurious Silk Mohair Yarn and of course, their incredible handpainted Cashmere yarn, in both lace and worsted weight, it's almost impossible to describe the beauty of Artyarns. For us, Artyarns is the ultimate in luxury handpainted yarns; and while these yarns do not come cheap, the exquisite craftsmanship, high-quality fiber, and unusual colors completely justify spending a little extra for a luxury yarn of this class. The way they knit up so delightfully, with the colors blending gracefully, and the finished product really is a treasure. Working with them will spoil you forever - so be forewarned! This yarn is very addictive. We have no qualms about converting everyone to the Artyarns Fanclub. In addition, there is terrific pattern support, a very active FACEBOOK community and great groups at Ravelry AND Yahoo for Artyarns lovers and lovers of modular knitting, which is an Artyarns specialty!) |
