Welcome to the royal shopping establishment!


The Skein Queen has been busy in her royal workshop in deepest Berkshire producing magnificent hand dyed yarns for your perusal. She aims to create resplendent, luxurious yarns for knitting or crochet projects or just to add to your stash and admire until you get around to using it!

If hand dyed yarn is not perfect for the project you have in mind, Skein Queen also stocks a new and growing range of luxury yarns in pre-dyed solid colours which you might like to try.

To start shopping, click on the Categories on the left-hand side - and remember to select your preferred currency. I'm happy to ship worldwide - scroll down to the bottom of the page for delivery information.

New hand-dyed yarn is added to the shop every week or fortnight. There are standard yarn bases in a variety of weights ranging from cashmere and silk to angora and merino and occasional guest yarns. Each of my colourways are dyed in singles or pairs - some are exclusive one-offs and some are dyed in larger batches but are limited in number. You can usually find a preview of which yarns will appear in the update on my blog on the day before the update.
 

Next shop update: Friday 27th January 8pm GMT
