Here's a little more information about the brands that we stock here at ArtYarn:
SCHOPPEL-WOLLE of Germany is the go-to brand for yarns with wonderfully creative possibilities. The ZAUBERBALL is just one example. 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 You can see the whole SCHOPPEL-WOLLE CATALOGUE HERE.
LANG YARNS started out as cotton spinners in 1867, then developed over 6 generations to become the largest Swiss yarn company. Offering a full 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 pattern books. The LANGYARNS WEBSITE provides information about all the yarns and designs.
