Like water, time is one of the things we cannot control. It will keep ticking on with no regard to us humans. It will still keep going long after we’re all gone from this place.
It may sound a bit morbid but it’s a basic truth which, if we accept fully, we would be able to make every moment count.
Anyway, all that to say, we’re 5 years on from the pandemic of our times! Like most people, I kind of stopped keeping time since 2020. A lot has happened to our little shop since and, at the same time, it feels like we’ve been on super slow motion all this time.
This is not click-bait. This is the real deal.
If you’re a regular here, you would know that I have been trying to clear old stock for a while now. I appreciate everyone’s support as I have moved quite a bit of it already but there’s still so much left.
These yarns are all in good condition. Nothing wrong with them. But there are other yarn brands I have been meaning to bring to the UAE and I need room for them.
In addition, I would like to move away, as much as possible, from synthetic fibers and stock only yarn made with natural fibers. I’m not a complete yarn snob though so blends will still be in stock where the nylon or polyamide help strengthen the fabric.
To cut a long story short, I will be offering for free the rest of the stock which I want to clear out.
>Now we need to set some rules so this will not become a mad house.
- Valid for orders placed from the today until stocks last
- Exclusively for customers who purchase other items
- Customers can avail up to 5 balls of free yarn at a time
- Purchase/delivery policy remains the same as it always has been
- This means if you order on the webshop and selected delivery, your free yarn will be delivered along with your paid order
- If you chose self pick-up at Arte, then you collect both your paid order and free yarn at Arte
- Therefore, only those buying at Arte will have a chance to choose their free yarn
- To be clear, for the free yarn, only the stock available at Arte will be available. You cannot choose from what is not there
- Yarn Souq has discretion on what yarns will be given for free for online customers
- You can choose your free yarn only if you come to our pop-up market
- No return, no exchange even if you ask really nicely
There you have it. Simple and easy, right?

These yarns are all in good condition. Full skeins/balls. Never been used. May have been squished and loved up at the markets but they are still intact.
Most will say this is not a wise business move. A lot of money went into this stock. I have offloaded a fair bit under clearance over the past couple of years but they need to go.
If you place an order from the 20th Jan, please know that delivery will be done a week later as we are currently out of the country.
Finally, we will be back at ARTE The Makers’ Market in Times Square Center from 8 February 2025.
See you soon!
