Choosing Yarn

1. What types of yarn do you sell?

JustKnit offers yarn and creative supplies for knitting, crochet, macramé and other craft projects.

Our range includes Papatya hand knitting yarn, including DK, Aran, chunky, multicolour, cotton, wool-blend, chenille and other yarns, together with Relax braided yarn and cord.

You can also browse the full JustKnit shop to see our current collection.

2. How do I choose the right yarn weight?

Start with the yarn weight recommended by your knitting or crochet pattern. Common UK yarn weights include 4 Ply, DK, Aran, Chunky and Super Chunky.

Our Yarn Weight Guide explains the main UK yarn weights, international equivalents, typical needle and hook sizes, and how to compare yarns when making a substitution.

3. Can I use the same yarn for knitting and crochet?

Yes. Many yarns can be used for both knitting and crochet. The important factors are the yarn weight, fibre, construction, recommended needle or hook size and the requirements of your project.

Many of our Papatya yarns are suitable for both knitting and crochet.

4. Do you sell yarn for crochet bags, baskets and macramé?

Yes. For projects that need more structure, such as crochet bags, baskets, placemats and macramé décor, explore our braided yarn and cord collection.

See the Relax braided yarn and cord range for suitable options.

5. I am new to knitting or crochet. Where should I start?

Visit our Learn section for practical guides, techniques, project ideas and patterns.

You can also use our Yarn Weight Guide to understand yarn thickness and choose an appropriate yarn for your first project.

6. Do you sell Papatya yarn in the UK?

Yes. JustKnit stocks a wide range of Papatya yarn for knitting and crochet, including plain, multicolour, self-striping, wool-blend, cotton, bamboo, DK, Aran and chunky options.

Products shown as available are held in UK stock and dispatched from the UK.

7. Can you supply a specific dye lot?

If a particular dye lot is important for your project, please contact us before ordering and tell us the yarn, colour and dye lot you need.

We will check the available stock for you. For larger projects, we recommend buying enough yarn at the same time because future stock may come from a different dye lot.
