About Coast

Coast by Holst Garn is one of those yarns that manages to feel light and summer and a little bit luxurious at the same time. A woollen spun blend of 55% Merino lambswool and 45% cotton, it has a softness that makes it genuinely comfortable against even the most sensitive skin - babies and children included. The Merino brings the warmth, elasticity, and that lovely woolly quality, while the cotton keeps things breathable and light, making it just as suited to a summer blouse as a light, lacy shawl. One of the things we especially love about Coast is how the two fibres absorb dye differently, giving many colourways a subtle, heathered quality that adds real character to the finished fabric. With abroad palette and generous yardage, there's something here for every project and every mood. Coast comes in easy to use 50g cakes and is a dream to cast on with.

About Holst Garn

Holst Garn is a Danish yarn brand born from the passion and long‑held knitting experience of founder Helle Holst, who created the company to fill a gap she felt in the yarn world — offering makers high‑quality natural fibres in an extensive palette of colours at accessible prices. The brand’s roots are in Aabybro, Denmark, and its philosophy centres on making yarns by knitters, for knitters, with a focus on materials that are versatile, inspiring, and enjoyable to knit or crochet.

Holst Garn’s range includes beloved bases such as Supersoft, a classic non‑superwash blend of Merino and Shetland wool that blooms and softens beautifully after washing, as well as light and summery blends like Coast, combining Merino lambswool with cotton for soft, breathable projects. The company sources fibres from trusted, ethical suppliers and works with spinning partners around the world to match each yarn with the optimal production process.

Appreciated for both its broad colour offerings and its quality‑to‑value ratio, Holst Garn has grown from a local hobby project into an internationally enjoyed brand, beloved by makers who want yarns that are reliable, expressive, and ready to become cherished handmade garments and accessories.

Why you'll love Commercially Dyed Yarn

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.
