For the lightest, most delicate knit and crochet projects, be sure to explore our selection of 2ply yarn at Yarn Trader in Australia. 2ply yarn, also called lace-weight yarn, is as thin as yarn gets before entering the realm of thread.

On its own, 2ply yarn is great for lacy items such as openwork wraps, scarves, and shawls. You can also use it to make thin, lightweight garments like cardigans. If you want to add warmth and luxury to a thicker yarn, try carrying a strand of lace-weight yarn made of alpaca or mohair fibre along with it. 2ply yarn blended with silk further improves the strength of your projects.

At Yarn Trader, we carry an extensive selection of 2ply yarn from a wide variety of suppliers. Whether you’re looking for hand-spun luxurious cashmere or innovative materials such as metal, you’ll find it here. The wide variety of fibres available also means we have a huge selection of colours, both natural and dyed.

It isn’t only knitters and crocheters who love lace-weight yarn, either. Weavers commonly work with silk or cotton 2ply yarn as a weft since it provides a strong foundation without distorting the resultant fabric.
