Joy of Yarn is a New Zealand based retailer of quality hand knitting yarns sourced from New Zealand ... including the world famous Fibre Alive ranges which are hand dyed by James, right here at Scarlet Oak Cottage.

We offer you the choice of visiting us on the web through our user friendly and secure online yarn store or by making an appointment to view the yarns in person.

We’re on a mission to lead you into temptation and in the process become the enabler of choice for your yarn habit. We call it “bringing J.O.Y. into your life”.

Go on, buy yourself some yarn today and knit a pair of socks… you know you want to! But be warned – sock knitting can become addictive … once you've knit your first pair you’ll understand what we mean!
