About us

At Woolunatics, we believe that yarn is more than just a material. The right yarn can spark an idea, shape a design, and inspire an entire project.

What started as a passion for exceptional fibers has grown into a destination for knitters, machine knitters, weavers, crocheters, and textile enthusiasts who appreciate quality, sustainability, and the joy of working with truly special yarns.

At Woolunatics, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of yarns on cones, luxury fibers, and unique finds from some of the world’s finest spinning mills.

What Is Stock Yarn?

A large part of our collection consists of stock yarns: leftover yarns from Italian knitwear manufacturers and luxury fashion houses. These yarns were originally produced for designer collections but remained unused after production.

For makers, this means access to premium materials that are often impossible to find elsewhere. For the planet, it means giving beautiful yarn a second life before recycling becomes necessary.

Every cone has a story, and often only one chance to become part of yours.

Why We Love Stock Yarn

  • Unique yarns that are often available only once
  • Luxury fibers at accessible prices
  • Constantly changing collections and new discoveries
  • A sustainable alternative to producing new materials

No two visits to Woolunatics are ever quite the same.

Our Permanent Collection

Alongside our ever-changing stock yarn selection, we carry a number of trusted favorites that are available year-round:

These yarns have earned their place in our collection because they perform beautifully and inspire makers project after project.

One of the advantages of working with yarn on cones is the freedom to create your own unique combinations.

Pair cashmere with silk for softness and shine, add linen for structure, or combine several colors for subtle melange effects. Whether you knit by hand or machine, blending yarns allows you to create fabrics that are completely your own.

Visit Us

While our webshop is open 24/7, many customers enjoy seeing and feeling the yarns in person.

Several times a year we organize Open Days, where visitors can browse the collection, discover new arrivals, and connect with fellow yarn enthusiasts.

Prefer a quieter experience? We also offer Private Shopping appointments. This gives you dedicated time to explore the collection, ask questions, and receive personal advice without the crowds.

You can also meet us at knitting events and yarn festivals, including Breidagen, where we bring a selection of our favourite yarns and share our passion for fibers with the knitting community.

Cone-tainer

Our Cone-tainer, filled with thousands of cones of yarn, is located in Sappemeer, Netherland. It has become a destination for fiber lovers from across Europe looking for something special, whether they are searching for a single cone or planning an entire collection of projects.

More Than a Yarn Shop

We are passionate about fibers, color, texture, and craftsmanship. Every yarn in our collection is selected because it has the potential to become something beautiful.

Our Instagram is where we share daily yarn discoveries, knitting projects, and creative ideas from the world of natural fibers. Discover new stock yarn finds, unique fiber combinations, machine knitting inspiration, hand knitting projects, and the stories behind the yarns that arrive at Woolunatics.

It is also a place where our community of makers shares their creations, experiments with colour and texture, and finds inspiration for their next project.
