Looking for bold, luxurious novelty yarns for home décor or statement pieces?
 
Alp Oriental is a super bulky (16ply) yarn made in Türkiye from a medley of mixed fibres, hand-tied and artfully wound into 250g balls of pure creative potential. With its plush texture, opulent aesthetic and evolving strand transitions, Alp Oriental is perfect for homewares, accessories and oversized makes with character.
 
If you’ve been searching where to buy novelty yarns in Australia or you’re on the lookout for chunky novelty yarns that bring both flair and heart to your project, this is the one.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Alp Oriental is more than a yarn; it’s an experience. Each ball is crafted from three strands of ever-changing novelty yarn, hand-tied and twisted together for a dynamic texture and colour shift. The fibres range from fluffy and fuzzy to silky and smooth, bringing surprise and delight to every metre.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. Alp Oriental is hand-assembled in Türkiye by women facing economic hardship. Each ball represents meaningful employment and empowerment, turning your creative time into an act of community support.
 
A handmade tassel adorns every skein, giving you a sneak peek of the fibres inside and offering a decorative flourish that can be worked into your final piece.
