Stock Yarns

We have a basic range of dyed stock supported yarns available.

This is the yarn for those who want to strip everything back. Naked Skeinz is a range that has been designed to let you unleash your creativity. Naked Skeinz are yarns that are truly naked, undyed, unbleached, packed in simple skeins ready for you to dress them up with your own colour & personality.

These yarns are not bulked – which is occurs during either the dying process or the yarn is steamed if they are sold as natural shades. We recommend either steaming or soaking your Naked Skeinz yarns and drying thoroughly before knitting them undyed to achieve the most accurate gauge and best results.
