About Strawberry Patches yarns

Hello and welcome to Strawberry Patches Yarns!

We’re a small, family-run business based in beautiful New Zealand. I’m Marina, the color enthusiast behind the vibrant, happy yarns you’ll find here, all crafted with care for your knitting enjoyment. My husband is the tech wizard who keeps this lovely website up and running smoothly.

I source most of my yarn bases from local NZ mills, and I’m incredibly proud to be part of New Zealand’s supportive fibre community! I began my dyeing journey in 2020, and since then, I’ve expanded my range to include various fibre blends. Now, you can explore options like 4 ply (fingering), 5 ply (sport), 8 ply (DK), and spinning braids (roving). I’m delighted to offer NZ merino, alpaca, corriedale, lincoln, arapawa, polwarth, possum, tencel, haunui, and silk blends, along with some imported favorites like merino, stellina, yak, silk, camel, Donegal, mohair, linen, lurex, cotton, cashmere, and bluefaced Leicester blends.

Most of my yarns are one-of-a-kind (OOAK), which I believe makes them truly special—perfect for crafting unique socks, shawls, fade cardigans, sweaters, or even baby garments.

New this year, I’ve added club options for both spinning fibre and yarn, and they’ve been increasingly popular! If you love exploring new textures and colors, I highly recommend checking them out and subscribing for a monthly dose of fibre magic.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy knitting!

Warm wishes,
Marina
