Snufflebean Yarn was born on a whim in 2016, I was fed up of struggling to find a good online supplier of Cygnet Yarns so I decided to become one myself.
I am a tiny one woman business, and my aim is to provide a quick, professional service but with a personal touch that the big suppliers are missing.
Over the last year the range of products I stock has grown and evolved into something bigger than I possibly imagined and I look forward to supplying yarn to many of you for years to come.

Fast forward to June 2018, the business had grown to the point where I was struggling to juggle the children, the business and part time work for the local council, so I took the plunge and handed my notice in.
Snufflebean Yarn has grown from a single box of stock to a VAT Registered, Ltd Company. So far, I haven’t regretted a moment since taking the leap into self employment, and I can only hope that the business continues to thrive.
Its all down to you, my lovely customers, so thank you!
