The Schaefer Yarn Company has been hand dyeing variegated yarn since 1980. Each and every skein of yarn is still individually hand painted, just as it was in the beginning. Schaefer Yarns originated hand painted yarns! The result: 36 unique colorways available in all of our wool and wool blend yarns, plus 18 colors in the finest pima cotton in the world, Laurel, and a lovely cotton/rayon blend, Sandra. Their silks, Patty and Andrea, are available in 53 colors. Schaefer is thrilled to introduce the latest fiber to their line, Martha, a luxurious blend of lambswool, cashmere and dehaired angora. Coming in June 2007 is Susan, a delicious sport weight, 100% mercerized pima cotton.

Schaefer Yarn supports all their fibers with patterns to knit or crochet, and weavers will find our yarns a pleasure to work with as well.
