Top 10 best online stores of yarn

10 Placers yarn

Opens the ranking of the best placers of yarn, specializing in foreign products. He is one of the few selling products of the American brand Madelinetosh. Lots are limited, colors are exclusive, so the cost is appropriate. There are more affordable German, Russian and Peruvian manufacturers. The store gives a brief information about the product, indicates the presence of certificates and the history of the company. The company regularly replenishes the range and reports this in the news. There are no promotions and sales, but there are liquidations of balances with discounts up to 70%.

The store delivered a minimum order amount of 1,000 rubles for the regions, residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg can collect any parcel. The company accepts all types of electronic payments, cards and cash. In most regions there is no free delivery, the average cost is 300 rubles. The company recommends starting a personal account, although the user does not receive any bonuses. It stores information about past orders and address. The store is inferior to competitors in the number of positions on the site, and the search could be more informative.

9 Not grandma

The store is not a grandmother one of the most convenient and understandable sites. The yarn is divided into categories, including price, manufacturer, footage, fiber type, color and knitting method. The company took care of the design of each product, the photo perfectly conveys the texture of the thread. Most of the positions on the site are in stock, but the number is not specified, you will have to check with the manager. The company sells sales rarely, but a small section with shares is issued. The company maintains contact with customers, regularly updating information on social networks and responding to reviews.

The delivery conditions are not very encouraging: they send only 100% prepayment to the regions, but even in Moscow the cost is 300 rubles (if the order amount is less than 5,000 rubles). Nothing is said about the returns on the website, but if the customer refuses to make a purchase, the courier services are paid in full.Personal account does not give special advantages, but the history of purchases is preserved. In the reviews, customers write about the slowness in sending goods, but the staff is polite and goes forward.

8 Yarn on the house

Yarn at home offers several types of discounts: savings and one-time. Regular customers can earn up to 5%, and beginners need to make an order in the amount of 4,000 to 10,000 rubles. Sales and contests dedicated to the holidays are held regularly. Despite the load on the main page, searching for yarn is not difficult due to the division into categories. Craftsmen are available brands Alize, Lana Gatto, Seam and many others. Each product has a detailed description, consumption parameters and number of the spokes. Wholesale buyers receive a 15% discount when ordering from 10,000 rubles, and Vkontakte regularly collects general orders.

The online store does not limit customers to the amount of the parcel, and the range corresponds to the stock balance. From Monday to Saturday the site is on duty manager, ready to provide free advice. Delivery is carried out by the Post of Russia and the company SDEC and takes about a week. The price is calculated automatically when you specify the address in the basket. Expensive orders are sent only by prepayment, the terms of delivery to remote regions are discussed with the manager. However, many products are not available, or there is 1 skein. The site is tangled, finding reviews and photos of customer orders is difficult.

7 Needle

Needle has earned a place in the list of the best thanks to a huge range and cumulative discounts. It is enough to buy goods for 500 rubles to save 10% for the next order. The discount is valid only a month, then reset. The site has everything for sewing, including any kinds of dozens of yarn manufacturers, needles, floss, felting sets, rhinestones, sewing machines and even thematic magazines. The company has a developed network of self-delivery points, it is possible to pick up an order from most major cities of the country.

The needle offers gift certificates in the amount of 500 to 3,000 rubles, valid for 6 months. The card is considered redeemed, even if the client has not collected the full amount. But the geography of delivery is practically unlimited: they carry in all cities of Russia and neighboring countries. The cost depends on the weight, an average of 250 rubles. In the end, I would like to say about prices: without discounts, they are very high, it is more profitable to place small orders with competitors. The site is not informative, there are few categories.

6 5 skeins

5 skeins immediately attracts the attention of a pleasant site with divisions of yarn into producers, the best offers, sales and new arrivals. The company described in detail the advantages of registration in the store, the methods of ordering and delivery, it is impossible to get confused. Users created a discussion on the bulk purchase forum to get the largest discount of 20%. Additional bonuses apply for full prepayment of the order. The basis of the range is yarn from Germany, Bulgaria, Denmark and Spain, Turkey, Russia and China are represented in smaller quantities.

Buyers say that after placing an order, the manager must call and confirm the terms of delivery and payment, but this is sometimes forgotten. CDEK and Boxberry couriers bring yarn, sending takes up to 2 days. Prices on the site are higher than those of competitors, if not to collect a large amount. Some users have noted the slowness and forgetfulness of the manager. In general, the company has been trusted for many years, despite some minor flaws.

5 Tow

Despite the inconspicuous appearance of the site, Kudel earned the trust and recognition of customers. This is what people most often look for in the network; customers organize bulk purchase groups in the store. The catalog is divided into categories according to the purpose of the yarn: classic, fluffy, viscose, etc.Additionally, you can sort by thread thickness and brand names. The order is not limited to the amount or weight, even 1 tangle will be brought, although the shipping conditions will be unprofitable. Under each product can be seen in stock and color. A unique feature is a calculator: the user drives in the number of loops and the size of the product, and calculates the number of balls of yarn.

The company offers discounts to regular customers, as much as possible you can accumulate 20% when ordering from 9,800 rubles. Delivered not very quickly and late, the site weighs a warning about delays. Under any product you can see reviews, customers are actively communicating on the website and in the Vkontakte group. I would just like to note not the most intuitive site, some information needs to be sought out (for example, how much color is left). In 2015, the company strongly raised the prices of products, small orders are unprofitable.

4 Ligature

Ligature is the most popular site based on the sale of yarn from Italy. The company focused on knitting reels for machine and hand knitting. In separate sections highlighted yarn for decoration, including velor, sequins, chenille and lurex. Products collected in composition, then divided into subcategories, for example, yarn with cashmere can be combed, cardan, etc. Experienced craftswomen are attracted to rare factories, including LORO PIANA, BOTTO POALA and CARIAGGI. Prices in the store a little higher than the competition.

The company works from Monday to Saturday, on Sunday, the goods are not sent. Delivery in Russia is carried out by several transport companies to choose from, the cost depends on weight. The store warns that it takes 5 days to send - longer than the rest. Return and exchange is not possible if the problem is not detected at the time of receipt. The range of the store is very limited, but it has exclusive positions.

3 World of yarn

Opens the top three best world of yarn, gathered in the online store a large number of foreign brands. You can distinguish cheap Turkish (YarnArt, Alize, Gazzal) and luxury Italian versions (Lana Gatto, BBB). Domestic brands are there, but few, competitors have more choice. The company has excellent conditions: delivery in Moscow is free when ordering from 5,000 rubles, you can accumulate a discount of 10% with regular orders. The cost on the site pleases: many of the positions are given the lowest prices among all the stores represented. The interface is not very attractive, sorting only by manufacturer, it is not possible to specify the composition and the footage. Orders are collected for several days, they are not sent immediately either.

The world of yarn is ready to communicate with customers by phone, WhatsApp, Instagram and Vkontakte, respond quickly and politely. Orders are accepted and confirmed at any time. The buyer sees the process of sending the parcel, after a few days the track number arrives in the mail. The order history remains in your personal account, you can save addresses in the same place. The shop sends to the regions on a full prepayment by the services of the SDEC, PVZ and Express. Find out the amount of delivery will be only at registration.

2 The balls in the basket

The balls in the basket— One of the most popular resources on the Internet, where a huge amount of yarn is available, which will be brought in a few days to any point in the country. It is one of the few stores that does not charge a minimum order amount. The company has its own warehouse in Tver, the staff collects parcels from 10 am to 6 pm, but the premises are closed on weekends. The site offers some of the best descriptions: not only the composition and manufacturer, but also works made of yarn. Experts of the company lead a YouTube channel on knitting, presenting new items and teaching techniques for using them. There is a system of bonuses for registered customers, as much as possible you can get 10% when ordering from 40,000 rubles. Do not forget about novices: they are given a one-time discount of up to 7% (depending on the amount).

The number of positions on the site corresponds to the actual, everything is already in stock and waiting for the buyer. There is a place for chatting with employees in the product cards, any information can be specified. It is convenient to save the yarn in your favorites, compare with another position and postpone. In many large cities there are pickup points. Judging by the reviews, the staff are friendly, respond quickly. Among the shortcomings can be noted amateur site, from the product card can not get into the previous section. The items in the basket are listed by list, not by links, they have to be searched in the catalog.

1 Needlework

The first place in the list of the best is Needlework - the Rostov Internet giant with delivery throughout the country and rare types of yarn. Most of the positions are always available, the colors on the website are correct. We were attracted by product descriptions: not only standard data on the manufacturer and quality of the yarn are listed, but also tips on usage and customer reviews. There are brands that add alpaca, merino and camel to their composition. Presented and more familiar angora, cotton and acrylic. The yarn is divided into categories by brand and line, for example, winter, summer, demi-season. It is possible to set the desired parameters in the advanced search and display the appropriate positions.

The main warehouses are located in Rostov-on-Don, but delivered throughout Russia by courier service SDEC. The minimum order amount is 400 rubles, the regions need to make a 100% prepayment. The site has developed a notification system about the movement of the parcel, the user periodically receives notifications by mail. The shop has been working for a long time, earned positive reviews and customer confidence. I would just like to note that the section with shares is not separately selected, it is necessary to look in the tabs. The site is responsive, but a little confusing, in a couple of clicks you can not find the right.
