Hello and thank you for your interest in Eden Cottage Yarns Ltd.
Eden Cottage Yarns is a UK-based yarn company, with an emphasis on simple understated colours with a timeless appeal. Taking inspiration from the natural world, the palette of shades is carefully developed to complement intricate detail in complex patterns, as well as taking a starring role in simpler pieces. Coupled with the range of yarn blends meticulously chosen for their specific qualities, every Eden Cottage Yarns project is a treat on the needles and a delight to wear.
Eden Cottage Yarns consists of owner and dyer Victoria Magnus; Claire Turner and Debbie Rowntree both dealing with order processing as well as yarn twisting and labelling; occasional assistant and designer (and Victoria’s partner) David O’Kelly; and a variety of support staff in the UK. Founded in the Eden Valley in Cumbria, the company is home-based and now situated in Wetherby, West Yorkshire.
Primarily a hand-dyed yarn company from its formation, in 2014 a range of mill-dyed yarns was added to the offering due to high demand. These yarns are our signature Milburn 4ply™ and DK™, a luxurious blend of 85% British Bluefaced Leicester and 15% silk. They are dyed to match my exact colour specifications and are designed to allow retailers to re-stock quickly with a good range of repeatable shades to meet demand. Towards the end of 2019 we decided to refresh the Milburn range and discontinued four colourways: Autumn Fields, Damson, Dogwood and Moss. All four replacement colours are available to buy on 4ply and DK. The plan is to keep the palette at 20 colours in total for the foreseeable future.
We are also able to take wholesale orders for a selection of our hand dyed yarns and colourways. For more information about this click HERE.

How to order
Account
You will require a trade account on our website to access wholesale pricing. We need your shipping and billing address along with VAT details if applicable. Create an account HERE and then email us to with the account details so that we can confirm acceptance of you as a wholesale customer. After authorisation, when you log in to your account you will have access to a Wholesale page from which you will be able to place your order.
Yarns
These are available in 500g packs. Prices for each pack are found next to the corresponding yarn in the price list. Packs cannot be split or mixed. Milburn 4ply/DK should be ordered via the website as described above. Hand dyed yarns are also available to order through the website. Mixed orders may be accepted on request but we cannot split bags of Milburn 4ply/DK, or split hand dyed yarn dyelots.
How to pay
We accept credit/debit cards via the website using Shopify payments. Bank transfers can also be accepted with prior arrangement. Orders combining Milburn and hand dyed yarn will follow the Hand Dyed Yarn process for payment. Please do not select PayPal at checkout. International wholesale orders paid using Paypal are subject to a 1.5% surcharge which will be added to your final invoice.
Minimum order
Our minimum initial order is 5kg (can be mixed yarn types). For patterns and extras the minimum order is 10 pieces. This can either be a mixture of different patterns or a bundle of 10 project bags but not a combination of the two.
Timescale
Orders are usually shipped within 3-5 business days of being placed. We work in conjunction with a warehouse where much of our stock is stored and orders may ship directly from there.
Shipping
Since the UK left the EU there have been significant challenges to shipping between the two areas. This has caused major delays to processing times at customs in some countries. International parcels of larger values (e.g. over £150) may take up to six weeks to be delivered.
Orders are shipped via courier, which varies dependent upon destination, but will be a reputable company e.g. DPD, FedEx, Parcelforce etc.
For shipping of hand dyed yarn orders please refer to the Wholesale Hand Dyed Yarn document HERE. Orders combining Milburn/Whitfell Chunky and hand dyed yarn will follow the Hand Dyed Yarn process for shipping.
Shipment costs for orders placed through the website will be calculated at checkout based on the following pricing. Where an ‘up to’ weight is stated, this weight is excluded from the pricing level unless otherwise stated, e.g. shipment for an order weighing 15kg being shipped within the UK will cost £12.

Shipment charges for orders over 22.5kg will be calculated on an ad hoc basis - as a result no shipment options will be shown on the website for you. In the case of an order exceeding 22.5kg, prepare the order as normal and proceed to checkout. The order will be saved as a draft so that shipment charges can be added once they have been calculated. To notify us of an order requiring shipping costs, please email info@edencottageyarns.co.uk so that we may process this request.
These prices do not include insurance (standard compensation is up to £100). If you would like insurance on your parcel please contact info@edencottageyarns.co.uk with details of your order so that this can be arranged by us and added to your bill. Please be advised it is usually expensive.

They are perfect for making up kits with yarns, particularly when accompanied by the Eden Cottage Yarns project bags and pin badges, also available to retailers.
