Here's a little more information about our brands that we stock here at ArtYarn:


Crazy Zauberball by Schoppel-Wolle
SCHOPPEL-WOLLE
of Germany is the go-to brand for yarns with wonderfully creative possibilities, such as ZAUBERBALL.

Find out more about their brand philosophy here: SCHOPPEL - WE ARE COLOR (pdf).

With a great eye for colour, fine fibres and textile expertise, the yarns are produced in Germany with some of their own patented machinery
. Fibres are sourced with care and attention to provenance and process, ensuring that they are as eco-friendly as possible. This has recently led to the introduction of the first biodegradable nylon in sock yarns and the PRO line of yarns (prioritising essential quality, these PRO yarns are not superwash treated and therefore require hand washing).
Patterns are to be found in the KNIT THE CAT pattern books, with cutting edge design ideas provided by guest designers as well as the in-house team! They also supply felting fibres: tops, finger-roving and ArtFelt paper.

Lang Yarns Jawoll

LANG YARNS started out as cotton spinners in 1867, then developed over 6 generations to become the largest Swiss yarn company. Offering a comprehensive range of quality hand-knitting and crochet yarns, the collection ranges from cotton to cashmere - just about any fibre you might wish for - in a fine palette of shades. With a fashion-forward approach, they present stylish designs in seasonal FATTO A MANO and WOOLADDICTS pattern books, as well as yarn or topic specific PUNTO booklets. The LANGYARNS WEBSITE provides full information about the yarns and designs and also access to their pattern shop, where you can purchase and download all of the patterns.
Hjertegarn
HJERTEGARN is a Danish yarn company, established in 1926. We love their great value natural fibre yarns, mostly in standard yarn weights, including the new BRUSHED BABY ALPACA, squishy NATUR ULD and the aran-weight ‘LIMA’ wool used for ‘Sarah Lund’ sweaters, from the TV series ‘The Killing’ - the Nordic appeal that first drew them to our attention! Many of the yarns are ideal for knit and felt. You can find them in Instagram or visit the HJERTEGARN FB PAGE for more information.
