Hebden Bridge

Yarn, dyed slowly. Kept for the long projects.

Stitch & Skein is an independent shop for hand-dyed wool, alpaca and linen, everyday cotton balls, and the sort of help that does not rush you.

  • £18–£26 hand-dyed skeins
  • from £7 cotton DK
  • from £38 kits
  • Free knit night

Small vats

Hand-dyed 100g skeins from £18 to £26. Colour shifts a little from lot to lot, and we will say so.

Plain prices

Cotton DK balls from £7. Kits from £38. Workshops from £35. Knit night is free.

A table on Thursday

Bring a tangle. Stay as long as the tea lasts. Beginners are not a side room.

In the vat

Yarn with the shade still named

Every colourway has a name, not just a chip. Open a shade card to recolour the skein and set a few aside.

All seven yarns

Shop by weight

Thin to thick, with what each weight is usually for.

Before you cast on

How many balls, really?

The calculator estimates a hat, scarf, jumper, blanket or socks from the metres on the ball. Then it tells you to buy a spare and check the pattern.

Beginner · £38

Enough yarn, needles and a short pattern to finish a scarf you will actually wear.

Beacon Hat

Beginner · £42

A first hat in the round, with the needles included so you are not hunting through a drawer.

Sunday Socks

Intermediate · £48

One skein, one pair. Buy a second skein if you want a spare for darning later.
