Because every skein deserves a second chance
Sustainable knitting starts here. We save premium yarn from disposal and make it accessible to you. And at prices you’ll love.
Save surplus yarn and wool at attractive prices
Save the Yarn gives high-quality wool and first-class yarn a second chance. We rescue overstocks, remnants and production surpluses from the textile industry that can no longer be sold due to color deviations, collection changes or warehouse closures. Instead of being thrown away, these first-class materials end up in our store, ready for your creative projects. Benefit from quality yarn at very fair prices and make an active contribution to avoiding textile waste. Our range is constantly changing, so it’s worth checking back regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions about Save the Yarn
Why is Yarn Discarded?
There are various reasons. Here are a few examples:
- There isn’t enough wool left on the cones, so machines can no longer knit with it.
- The color is no longer in trend
- The wool has a production defect
- The leftover wool cannot be used for anything
- A designer ordered too much wool for a collection
Is the Yarn New?
The wool is unused. Some yarns are processed by the factory for us, making them thicker and better suited for hand knitting.
Why Can save the Yarn Offer Such Attractive Prices?
We buy leftover wool directly from factories. Since they can no longer use the wool, they sell us their remaining stock at lower prices. Therefore, our motto is: ‘While supplies last.’ We receive varying quantities of wool and cannot reorder it.
What is Recycled Yarn?
Yarn is recycled when used textiles are mechanically broken down into fibers and then spun into new wool. This saves resources and reduces textile waste. The wool is therefore more sustainable than conventionally produced wool.
Can I See and Feel the Products in Person?
Absolutely! Visit us at our store in Basel.
You can find us at Feldbergstrasse 4, 4057 Basel.
