Shopping for Yarn Just Got Easier
Clearer prices, easier weight selection, and all your savings in one place. Here’s what’s new at Cone & Fiber.
We’ve been working on the Cone & Fiber website, with most of our attention going to the parts you use when choosing yarn and putting an order together.
Our goal is simple: make it easier to understand how much yarn you’re buying, what it costs, how it will be wound, and which savings are already included in your order.
Buy the amount your project needs.
Our yarn sold by weight is available from 50g per yarn and color. You don’t have to buy a whole cone when you only need enough for a swatch, a small detail, or a strand to combine with another yarn.
The minimum is now shown beside the weight field, so you don’t have to look through the description to find it.
The + and − buttons now change the weight by 100g.
Use the buttons to build up your quantity quickly, for example from 100g to 200g or 300g.
Need a different amount? Select the number in the field and type your own: 65g, 175g, 230g, or any other whole number of grams from 50g up to the available stock.
You do not have to order in multiples of 100g. The buttons are there for quick changes; typing lets you choose the exact weight. At the minimum weight, the minus button becomes inactive.
The 100g button increment applies only to yarn sold by weight. Packaged yarn, tools, and accessories are still counted as individual items.
Each cone is linked to its yarn.
Each yarn and color sold by weight needs at least one cone. A cone is added automatically with your yarn, and the cart shows which yarn and color it belongs to.
If you’d like the yarn divided across several cones, you can increase the cone quantity. Each cone must contain at least 50g, so 100g of yarn can be divided across a maximum of two cones.
Cones cost $1 each and appear as separate lines in the cart. This keeps the yarn cost and the cone cost easy to check.
We normally split each yarn evenly between its cones. If you need a different split, please leave a note in your cart. We do not wind multiple strands together onto one cone.
The price per 100g and the total for your chosen weight.
In the cart, yarn sold by weight now shows its price per 100g. The quantity field includes “g”, and the line total shows the cost of the weight you’ve selected.
Cones appear separately, making it easier to see how the total comes together without doing the calculations yourself.
See exactly how much more you need to add.
You no longer have to calculate how close your order is to free shipping or an order discount. The cart shows the amount still needed for each benefit.
Free U.S. shipping starts at $100, and orders of $300 or more receive 10% off. The remaining amounts update as you change your cart, and benefits are marked as unlocked when you reach them.
Sale prices and your total savings, together.
Sale items show the original crossed-out price, the current discounted price, and the discount percentage.
The order summary also includes a “You saved” section, so you can see the savings included in your cart at a glance.
In the example above, the items total $51.90 before savings. Sale prices save $12, bringing the subtotal to $39.90.
Our winding guide is now in your cart.
Open “How would you like your yarn wound?” to read the guide while checking your yarn weight and cone quantities.
It explains the minimum weight per cone, how we divide your yarn, and where to leave a note if you need a different split. No need to leave the cart to look for the instructions.
