About Yarn Saver
Creating a Sustainable Solution to a Common Yarn and Fiber Problem
To learn about Yarn Saver, we need to start from the beginning! Fiber arts goes beyond creation—it can build a sustainable community. Our founder, Christina, found her yarn collection growing excessively large, rivaling even some yarn stores. To manage this, she decided to reduce her stash by half. Christina envisioned a simple, efficient solution: a website where enthusiasts could easily browse and purchase yarn, complete with automated shipping cost calculations. This eliminated the need for direct contact and streamlined the shopping experience.
With 17 years as a passionate, award winning knitter and extensive experience in web development, digital security, and strategy, Christina made Yarn Saver a reality. Our platform empowers fiber artists to reclaim value from their supplies, find affordable materials, and actively support sustainability. Together, we’re shifting the focus from consumption toward intentional reuse, ensuring each skein, needle, and tool is thoughtfully and responsibly utilized.
“I believe fiber artists deserve opportunities to recoup their investments while embracing sustainable practices. Yarn Saver meets this need through a secure marketplace. Here, fiber artists confidently buy and sell high-quality secondhand yarn and tools. We extend the lifecycle of these valuable materials, keep them out of landfills, and inspire our community toward intentional reuse.”
— Christina, Founder of Yarn Saver
