Before the art of knitting comes the art of yarn.

For the discerning, uncompromising knitter, Artyarns is the premier innovator of luxury yarns tailor-made to elevate the experience and art of knitting.

We import Italian cashmere and merino wools, Japanese silk and mohair, and Murano glass beads. Our couture yarns are custom plied and hand-painted in New York.

Artyarns inspires creativity through the intriguing combination of unique fibers and a palette of fashion forward colors. Artyarns was founded by Iris Schreier, a noted knitting author, who creates the palettes and fibers. She designs new garments and writes patterns on a regular basis. Her newest book, One + One: Hats (Lark, 2012) was published in November 2012 and feataures 30+ patterns using only 2 skeins of Artyarns.
