Paternayan Yarn  
About Our Yarn

It's true!  

We supply Paternayan Persian yarn at some of the best prices on the Internet, and have been in business longer than most of our competitors!

Best value:

The 1/8 pound hank - 9-10 knots worth of yarn   ($9.00 at our already discounted per-knot price of .90) for only $5.50!  What a deal.  It's even better if you buy 1/4 pound, for just $10.00.

 
About Paternayan wool
This long fiber wool from New Zealand is carefully spun for maximum durability during stitching.  The colors are vibrant!
Discount prices and superior quality make this a fabulous yarn for needlepoint or weaving.    Paternayan yarn is a 3 ply persian yarn available in over 400 colors.  Perfect for needlepoint on 10-18 count canvas.  

IMPORTANT NOTICE for buyers of Paternayan yarn!
For the past several months we've been dealing with an unprecendented difficulty in keeping some colors of yarn in stock, due to yarn production shortages by the manufacturer. This is delaying orders anywhere from 1 week to a few months. This is the unfortunate result of a rough economy, and all retailers are experiencing the same problem with supply. Please bear with us as we do the best we can under the current circumstances.

Yarn Colors

Click the swatches for a larger image.  Remember that computer monitors are not accurate.  Match yarn using a color card (see below)

How to read a color chart:

The colors are arranged in families.  Each color family has a name, like Strawberry, and a range of values from light to dark.  There are usually 5-6 shades in each group, although some groups have more.

Can't make out the number?   Give us the name, and about where it fits in the family (next-to-darkest, for example) and we'll do the rest..

Knitter's Notice:   Only the 1/4 pound quantity is continuous.  All the other sizes are CUT to 30" strands.  Contact another store in your area for the continuous skeins - we don't carry them.

 

    

Whites, purples     Browns, blues      Blues, greens

 

Greens and Yellows    Reds and wines

3 ply persian wool is perfect for needlepoint.    Here's how we sell it:
  • a knot has 10 strands of wool cut to 30" each.  Over 8 yards
  • 1/8 pound has about 9-10 knots worth of yarn, but it's all in one overhand hank.  We CUT a 1/4 pound hank in half at both ends to make this. Approx. 86 yds.
  • 1/4 pound is the only quantity we sell in a continuous skein.  See our tips for coverage, usage, quantities and more. Approx. 172 yds.

To ORDER

We have a new ordering system!  Write down all your colors in each size (e.g. 1 quarter pound 262, 1/8 pound 222 and 3 knots of 900, 2 knots of 411. )

Then select the size to order .  You'll see a box for colors right above the quantity box- put all your color numbers in that color number box.  For example: 900(3) and 411(2).  Put your total pieces (in our example, 5 knots) in the quantity box. Or you can do it in the special instructions if that's what you're used to.

Yarn Color Chart 
Select a paper chart or a cardboard chart with real snips of wool attached to demonstrate how the wool absorbs the dye.  The only way to match colors is using the Yarn Card.  If you use the paper chart for matching, you may be disappointed. Order the yarn card here.
