What do world-class designers and passionate handmakers have in common?
They both begin with extraordinary yarn.

At That Yarn, we collect exceptional surplus yarns from some of the world’s most respected spinning mills—mills that have been quietly supporting fashion’s finest labels for decades. While we are not affiliated with any designer brands, many of our yarns are made by the same mills known to serve the high fashion industry.

This is your chance to experience that same quality—without the markup or the waste.

🏭 The Italian Mills: Quiet Giants of Fashion

Italy’s Biella region is home to generations of master spinners. Mills like Zegna Baruffa, Tollegno 1900, Botto Giuseppe, Cariaggi, and others have built their reputations on precision, purity, and innovation.
These mills produce yarns used in some of the most exquisite garments in the world—think superfine Merino suits, featherlight cashmere sweaters, or wool-silk blended coats. While fashion houses may use these yarns under their own labels, the origin often remains hidden.

We don’t sell branded garments. We offer factory surplus and deadstock cones from these legendary yarn producers—leftovers that were never used, but still hold the same exceptional character and feel.

♻️ Why Surplus Yarn Is a Maker’s Secret Weapon

Yarns made for fashion houses are often over-ordered or set aside due to production changes. These surplus cones—known as mill ends—are never flawed; they’re simply unused.

At That Yarn, we view these cones not as leftovers, but as rare finds. They offer:

• Sustainable value – repurposing unused materials avoids waste

• Top-tier quality – spun by elite mills for the most demanding clients

• Unique textures and colors – often not repeated in commercial lines

• A story behind every fiber – just waiting to be continued by you

✨ Yarn With Soul, Curated With Care

We don’t carry mass-market yarns. We don’t follow trends.
Instead, we select cones for texture, tone, and story. Some feel like vintage velvet, others like raw, honest wool. Each one invites exploration—by hand, eye, and heart.

Whether you knit, weave, or experiment with fiber in your own way, you deserve access to yarns that make you feel something. That Yarn is a place where coned yarn becomes personal again—a museum of fibers with history.

🧶 Bring Quiet Luxury Into Your Hands

You don’t need a designer label to create something exquisite.
