Specialty Yarns | Creative effects and technical surprises

Discover our collection of specialty yarns designed to create unique visual and structural effects in your weaving projects. These yarns react in surprising ways — shrinking when washed, adding elasticity, or producing unusual textures — and allow you to push the boundaries of traditional textiles.

Perfect for curious and experimental weavers, these fibers let you:

  • Create natural pleating or crinkled effects

  • Add volume and movement to your fabric

  • Play with elasticity and fiber interaction

Some yarns shrink under water or heat, interacting with stable yarns to form sculptural shapes. Others are elastic and can be used to design dynamic or fitted pieces.

Why use specialty yarns?

  • To experiment with texture and form

  • To design innovative handwoven pieces

  • To explore new creative techniques in your practice

Combine them with classic cotton or wool for expressive, structured and surprising results.
