Universal Yarn, Patterns and Kits

Universal Yarn patterns and kits make it simple to shop by project instead of hunting for yarn and instructions separately. The brand's lineup ranges from everyday worsted-weight basics to novelty textures, so there's usually a match for whatever you're making next.

Matching Yarn to Project

For garments, Uptown Worsted and Uptown DK offer dependable weights for sweaters and cardigans, while Bamboo Pop and Cotton Supreme suit lighter tops and baby items. If you want texture or a bit of drama, Bella Chenille and the Bamboo Bloom Handpaints line add softness or color movement to shawls and wraps. Compare these against other options in All Yarn if you're substituting for a specific pattern's gauge.

Patterns and Kits

Pairing a skein with a pattern from our Knitting Patterns or Crochet Patterns collection is a good route if you already know what you want to make. If you'd rather grab everything together, a Universal Yarn Color Kit takes the guesswork out of color pairing and yardage.

Care Basics

Always check the ball band before washing, since Universal Yarn's fiber content shifts by line, from machine-washable superwash wools to cotton and bamboo blends that may prefer a gentler cycle.
