As we finish off yarn from the starter cones, we are often left with cardboard cones of various shapes and sizes, that aren’t the right fit for the machine. However, they’re still perfectly good for other craft projects! You may order as many or as few as you’d like — no minimum purchase quantity for our cardboard cones. We do offer bulk discounts, however, on orders of 1,000 cones or more. Please email us to inquire about bulk orders.
You may choose “new” cones which are only available in one size, but are all identical and uniform in shape and quality. The new cardboard cones are 7″ tall, have a 3″ diameter at the base, and a 0.5″ diameter at the tip, and are all identical and uniform in shape and quality.
All of our cardboard cones weigh exactly 1 ounce. This can be helpful information if you’ve purchased yarn from us in the past, and are trying to figure out how much yarn you have left. Simply weigh the remainder of your cone of yarn, subtract 1 oz., and then you’ll know how much actual yarn you have left. You can even figure out your remaining yardage by doing some simple math with the starting yardage indicated on the label.
OR you may choose “recycled” cones, which are less expensive, come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and may be marked on the inside and/or worn around the edges.

It is such a wonderful service to be able to mix your own yarn, especially if you want something particular, such as an interesting mix of wool-free fibers.

Just wanted to say that the yarn came the other day, and it is so pretty! I just love it, and so does my three-year-old. She took it out of the package and (budding knitter that she is) actually kissed it, and took it to bed with her. I had to pry it out of her hands when she was asleep to get it back! And the hat pattern is perfect, I can’t thank you enough. Yarnia is one of the best companies I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing any kind of business with. I’m so sorry you have to close your store front; I’ll certainly continue to buy yarns from you, recommend you to everyone I know, and I do wish you the very best.

I have had such a great day making some Christmas shopping decisions with Yarnia and your chat-line was so very helpful. It really was a nice surprise to know that there is a company out there that will take the time to listen to what a customer wants and then do their best to be helpful. Restores my faith in shopping online!

The whole experience was wonderful. I think this is the best concept ever. To be able to purchase what fabric, how much and the color I want is awesome. I have already submitted another order. Thank you

This was a great experience and love the fact that the color blend is exactly what I wanted. Lindsey was great in responding quickly to my questions. I will order from here again and have been telling my friends about Yarnia.

I am a real fan of ordering yarn by the yard rather than by the skein. This definitely reduces the number of yarn ends that need to be woven in after the project is finished – a task that I don’t like and do not do very well.
– Sally D., Nevada City, CA

I appreciate the personalized service, emailing to inform of out of stock items and problem solving to create the same look.
– Candice D., Cuyahoga Falls, OH -

Got my order sooner than expected & the color is very close to the picture. Gorgeous yarn! This could become dangerous for my Paypal acct :). Very happy with the whole process & my yarn. Thank you very much! Definitely will visit next trip to PDX

Wonderful idea for custom yarn! Very pleased with my order and will come back for more.

The order was processed and delivered more quickly than expected. You were out of one colour that I ordered but was exchanged to my satisfaction. As I said earlier, I did have to pay duty on the order, which I didn’t expect. I definitely will order again but probably not for quite some time. I already had way too much yearn before I even ordered from Yarnia! Thank you for the oh-so-efficient service, I greatly appreciate it. You should be proud of yourselves!

Yarnia has become one of my favorite yarn stores to buy yarn from. I like the fact that I can chose yarn, colors and weight and have it come on one cone is great. Makes my life a lot easier, when it comes to purchasing one of a kind yarn. Thanks again Lindsey, love the yarn!
– Linda W., Ruther Glen, VA

The customer service was wonderful. I have never made an order where the people helping me went so far out of their way to be sure I got exactly what I wanted. Will be getting most of my yarn for now on from yarnia’s and will recommend ya’ll to to others who love to knit like myself. Thank you again for making my shopping the best.

I ordered a single cone of ‘Seahawk’ for the purpose of sampling Yarnia’s product and to know what to expect if I wanted to order a custom yarn in the future. It is even better than I had expected.
