Looking for the best novelty yarn in Australia that’s bursting with colour, sparkle and texture?
 
Meet Alp Premier, a hand-tied, show-stopping yarn that refuses to blend in. Wildly unique and full of personality, this worsted-weight (10ply) yarn is a celebration of fibre creativity, combining bold hues, sparkly accents and luxurious textures in every skein. It’s perfect for makers who want their projects to stand out, whether you’re knitting, crocheting or weaving.
 
Crafted for fibre artists who believe in joyful making, Alp Premier transforms even the simplest project into a statement piece. Use it on its own or paired with a complementary yarn (like Myrtle, our eucalyptus-based vegan silk) for stunning results.
 
If you’ve been searching for where to buy novelty yarns in Australia that are as fun to stitch as they are to wear, Alp Premier is your answer.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Alp Premier is hand-tied, making each skein completely unique. This yarn isn’t about uniformity. It’s about creativity without limits.
 
Handmade in Türkiye, it features a blend of fibres that range from subtly shiny to boldly glittering, smooth to slubby. With every stitch, you’ll find something new - a pop of colour here, a twist of shimmer there - all combining into a textured treasure trove that feels like a fibre festival in your hands.
 
Every skein is a little surprise, stitched with flair and full of imagination.
 
Why You’ll Love It
 
Alp Premier is one of our most-loved novelty yarns for a reason: it’s bold, textured, and full of life. Whether you’re crafting accessories, garments or home décor, this yarn adds dimension, movement and joy.
 
You’ll love:
The playful mix of fibres and finishes
The unexpected colour changes and sparkles
The tactile experience of working with hand-tied yarn
The ability to elevate even the most basic pattern
The joy of a skein that’s never quite the same twice
 
It’s the yarn equivalent of creative freedom. No rules, just art.
 
Spun with Purpose
 
At Fancy Yarns Australia, we’re proud to support fibre artists who love pushing the boundaries of traditional making. We’ve curated Alp Premier for its originality, artistry and the way it sparks bold, beautiful ideas.
 
Handcrafted with care and flair, this yarn champions textile diversity and celebrates the full potential of fibre art. We believe novelty yarns should be part of every maker’s toolkit, especially ones as imaginative as this.
 
Perfect For
 
Alp Premier is ideal for adding interest, sparkle and texture to any project. Use it alone for bold accessories or pair it with a smoother yarn for balanced brilliance.
 
Try it for:
Accent panels in cardigans and garments
Sparkling scarves and hats
Unique crochet bags or bucket hats
Weaving with depth and dimension
Borders, trims and decorative flourishes
 
Due to the hand-tied nature of this yarn, each skein is beautifully one-of-a-kind and may differ slightly from the photo.
