With approximately 280 metres per 100g skein, this DK-weight (8ply) yarn offers a smooth texture, flowing drape and now, a rich palette of sophisticated solid colours for timeless projects.
 
Spun in Italy and certified vegan, cruelty-free and GOTS-compliant, Alga Solid is perfect for crafters who want a yarn that’s eco-friendly, luxurious and easy to wear. Whether you’re searching for where to buy seaweed yarn in Australia or simply want a versatile plant-based yarn for your next warm-weather project, this one’s a must-have.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Alga Solid is spun from nature’s finest fibres, combining SeaCell, a silky fibre made from sustainably harvested seaweed, with organic cotton and bamboo viscose. Together, they form a soft, breathable yarn with a gentle sheen and an even, consistent finish.
 
Unlike the original Alga yarn with self-striping gradients, Alga Solid comes in a carefully curated range of solid shades, allowing your stitchwork, texture and silhouette to take centre stage. From soft neutrals to bold modern hues, each skein is designed to give your handmade garments and accessories a clean, polished look.
 
It is soft, sustainable and ideal for crafters who value stitch definition, wearability and natural beauty.

Alga Solid offers everything you love about the original Alga yarn: the same silky drape, lightweight feel and breathable texture now in a non-striping, tonal format that gives you total creative control.
 
You’ll love:
The solid colour palette for sophisticated, minimal projects
The buttery-soft blend of organic cotton, bamboo and SeaCell
The silky smooth texture and breathable feel
The stitch definition that makes lacework, cables or simple stitches shine
