Knitting & Crochet Supplies - Rare Yarns

Grazing sheep.

The Rare Yarns Company uses the finest natural fibres and colours of alpacas, llamas, sheep, yak, camel and goats from Australia, New Zealand, Tibet, Peru and many other places to create beautiful natural yarns.

The textures and colours of Rare yarns reflect our natural environment—nothing can beat the feel, lustre and hues of these dyed and undyed yarns. Rare patterns are just waiting for you to create beautiful garments or accessories using these yarns—handmade items that will be enjoyed for many years.
