Yarn & Knitting Labels
wound up in good design.

Hand-dyed yarn sells by colourway, and every skein needs a band with fibre, weight, yardage and care details. We print skein bands and brand stickers in short runs on HP Indigo, so a dyer can label each batch and each colourway without a mountain of stock.

Why it matters

Built for yarn & knitting labels.

01

A band for every colourway

Print each colourway name and shade as its own design, in the quantity of that dye lot, so the label always matches what is on the skein.

02

Care information that travels

Fibre content, weight, yardage and care symbols fit neatly on a compact band, and customers can read them in a shop or at a fibre festival.

03

Looks good in photos

A clean band with a bold logo helps yarn stand out in listing photos and in a market basket.

04

Matching kits and gift sets

Add a matching sticker to project kits, gift sets and club shipments so they read as one product family.

How to spec your yarn & knitting labels

Use a rectangular band for the skein and a small round sticker for a brand mark or sale tag. Matte or a paper-look finish suits natural fibres, and a thin foil line can lift a premium line. Match quantity to each dye batch.

Make the artwork work

Leave a clear blank area for the dye lot, handwritten or stamped, and keep fibre content in plain, large type that reads quickly.

Yarn & Knitting Labels FAQ

Common
questions.

Will labels stick to wound yarn?+

Bands wrap around the skein and overlap themselves, and stickers adhere to the paper band or packaging. Avoid placing adhesive labels directly on the fibre.

Can I print care symbols?+

Yes, include them in your artwork. Keep the symbols large enough to read at the printed size and check them on your proof.

How big should a skein band be?+

Measure around the skein and decide how much overlap you want. Many bands are around 2 x 6 in, and you can share the size at order time.
