Cradle and Cable began with a love of handmade babywear, traditional stitches and the simple pleasure of creating something special from a ball of yarn.
Now, we’re taking the next step.
Alongside our handmade knitwear, Cradle and Cable now sells yarn.
It feels like a natural addition to what we already do. Yarn is at the heart of every knitted piece we make, and we know how much difference the right colour, texture and feel can make to a project.
Yarn Chosen with Knitters in Mind
When we select yarn for Cradle and Cable, we look for the same things we value in our own knitting: colour, texture, practicality and the way the finished fabric feels in the hand.
Some shades are soft and subtle, while others have much more character. We especially love colours that work beautifully with traditional stitches such as cables, moss stitch and textured patterns.
Our aim is to offer yarn that inspires ideas rather than simply fills a shelf.
Whether you are knitting a baby cardigan, a cosy hat, a blanket, a jumper or something completely different, we want the yarn to feel like the beginning of something worth making.
Carefully Presented and Ready for Your Next Project
The yarn we sell is prepared and presented under the Cradle and Cable name, with clear information to help you choose the right option for your project.
Where possible, we will include useful details such as yarn weight, ball size, fibre information, shade and care guidance.
We are also working on showing our yarn as clearly as possible online, with close-up photographs so you can get a better idea of the colour and texture before ordering.
As knitters ourselves, we know how important those details can be.
Discover New Shades
One of the most enjoyable parts of adding yarn to Cradle and Cable has been choosing names for the different shades.
Rather than relying only on simple colour descriptions, we want the names to reflect the warm, traditional and slightly nostalgic character of the Cradle and Cable brand.
That means you may find shades inspired by coastlines, countryside, autumn colours, winter landscapes and other familiar textures and tones.
Each yarn listing will include photographs and full details to make choosing as straightforward as possible.
For Knitters, Makers and Creative Projects
Our yarn collection is not just for people making babywear.
It is suitable for anyone looking for yarn for their own knitting or craft projects, whether you are an experienced knitter or just getting started.
Over time, we hope to expand the range and offer an interesting mix of colours, yarn weights and textures.
We’ll also be sharing ideas in the Cradle and Cable Journal, including knitting inspiration, yarn features, project ideas and behind-the-scenes looks at how particular yarns work up in finished pieces.
Shop Cradle and Cable Yarn
The first Cradle and Cable yarns are now available through our online shop, with more shades being added as the collection grows.
