About &Make
Yarn for stitchers at every stage of their crafting journey, made from 100% natural, sustainable fibres from renewable sources. &Make has a stunning full palette of cheerful brights and nuanced shades created by overdyeing a range of naturally light and dark colored fibres.
With a choice of weights, you will find the perfect yarn for your crafting dreams: be it the plump, round stitches of our Super Bulky single-ply yarn which works up with satisfying speed, or our 2-ply Aran made with a blend of soft alpaca and strong Highland wool which loves colorwork, or our 2-ply DK, with fantastically crisp stitch definition for those beautiful textured stitch patterns, these yarns are designed to bring joy to every stitch of your sweater, accessory or homeware project.
Our first set of yarns for the &Make range each include Fairtrade hard-wearing Peruvian Highland wool in the blend. This wool was recommended by our partner mill in Peru with whom we have worked for nearly 20 years. We are proud to support the work of the fair trade suppliers of this wool and to include the Peru Fair Trade logo on our &Make labels.
“The Fibre Co. has a brand-new yarn range, called &Make, which has a lower price point than its main range while still offering luxurious and sustainably sourced fibres. The aran-weight option is a blend of Highland wool and alpaca, and it is a real treat to knit with, feeling soft and springy, and giving well defined stitches. Choose from 20 bright, modern shades.” – The Knitter, Issue 181

It was amazing!! Used it with the color Betty White for a my first colorwork sweater. Very warm and comfortable. I think blocking made a difference in texture as well - became more soft and less scratchy.
Love &MakeAran. Lovely green color I haven’t used before.
The Fibre Co had made several of my favorite yarns over the years, absolutely loved Canopy! Very sorry to see the yarn line being discontinued but I'm very happy that I had a chance to knit with it and wish the company the very best the future holds.

Loved the color, the feel of the yarn through my fingers and the stitch definition! Truly a lovely yarn!
It’s a beautiful, soft, squishy yarn. The sample that I made was lovely to knit. Unfortunately, the color I purchased was too dark for my purposes.
Soft, vibrant, knits well — just lovely!!
This yarn is so cozy and squishy. I got it in color Silver Screen, which is a beautiful complex gray color. I can see little peeks of the natural brown coming through, which is delightful. If I could be reincarnated and come back as a yarn, it would be this one!
The colors are vibrant and beautiful and the yarn is soft.. I've not knit the hats yet but hopefully they will be Christmas gifts.
This is lovely yarn.
