Take a peek at the picture above! That is just a tiny corner of our inventory, featuring a stunning array of full cones in absolute yarn perfection. Imagine building a dream stash that looks exactly like that – completely funded by your store credit!
Calling all fibre artists! Let’s be honest: our yarn stashes are our absolute pride and joy. There is nothing quite like the thrill of finding the perfect cashmere or merino blend for your next cast on. But keeping that stash fully stocked? That can sometimes take a toll on the wallet!
What if we told you that you could fund your yarn obsession simply by doing what you already love?
Here at Yarn Atelier, we believe in keeping things completely community-focused. Rather than handing our marketing budget over to big tech giants, we would much rather put that money directly into the hands of makers like you.
That’s why we’ve rolled out two incredibly easy (and incredibly fun!) ways for you to earn free yarn. Whether you love testing out gauges or sharing your latest WIPs with friends, here is how you can start earning your free yarn stash today!
1. The "Swatch for Us" Initiative 🧶
Are you the kind of knitter or crocheter who diligently swatches before starting a project? If so, you can turn those amazing little squares of fabric into instant store credit!
Since we are a small, two-person team, we need your help to show the world how our yarns behave in the wild. If you’ve created a swatch using Yarn Atelier yarn, we want to see it!
How it works:
-
Snap a Pic & Share the Specs: Send us a picture of your finished swatch and tell us how you got there. We just need the basic details – for example: Filati Biagioli Modesto Cashmere, 8x12 cm swatch, 3mm needles, washed at 30ºC, dried flat on a towel.
-
Submit Your Swatch: You can easily submit your pictures through our Swatch Submission Form or by simply replying to our emails.
-
Earn Free Yarn: If your picture goes on our site, we will give you £2.50 in store credit, no strings attached. That is literally free yarn just for snapping a photo of something you were already making!
-
Get Featured: We’ll also give you full credit by mentioning your name or Instagram handle (if you want us to), so you get the recognition you absolutely deserve.

2. The Yarn Atelier Ambassador Programme 💌
If you love our yarns, why not shout it from the rooftops (and get paid in yarn to do it)? Our Ambassador Programme is designed to reward genuine, word-of-mouth recommendations within our brilliant crafting community.
How it works:
-
Share a Discount: When you join, you’ll get a bespoke ambassador code to share with your friends, knitting group, or social media followers. This code gives them 20% off their first order (minimum spend £40).
-
Earn Vouchers: For every single qualifying order placed using your bespoke code, you will be awarded £10 in store vouchers.
-
No Limits: There is absolutely no cap on how much you can earn. Bring in 1 friend? That’s £10. Refer 10 friends? That’s £100. If you happen to bring in 100 customers who use your code, we will literally send you £1,000 in yarn. Promise!
💡 Clever Referral Tactic: Want to rack up those referrals organically? Take your current WIP (Work in Progress) to your local Knit & Natter group, or cast on while sitting at your favourite coffee shop. When your fibre friends inevitably reach out to squish your lovely fabric and ask, "Ooh, what yarn is that?", you can casually hand them your 20% off code. It's the ultimate win-win: they get a sweet discount on premium yarn, and you get £10 closer to your next sweater quantity!
We check code usage daily on working days, meaning your £10 store credit vouchers will be issued and emailed to you the very next day after a successful referral.
(Note: To keep things fair for our tiny business, no self-referrals or posting to mass coupon-scraping sites like Honey or Reddit threads. This is all about genuine community sharing!)
Sign up and read the terms on our Ambassador Programme page.
Ready, Set, Stash!
Building a luxurious yarn collection doesn’t have to break the bank. By swatching your current Yarn Atelier favourites and sharing your bespoke discount code with your fibre friends, you can easily rack up the credit you need to build your very own wall of yarn.
Grab your needles, snap a picture of your swatch, and tell your friends – your ultimate free yarn stash awaits!
