What's summer without a fun little dress...

Our Denim Dress with Removable Jacket

A little about our fits, and a few fabrics too...

Kennedy, our classic straight leg jean with an 8" medium rise.
The denim is our Refined Japanese Denim in a rinse wash.

The back view of Kennedy, with our signature double
crescent stitch done in a "dots" stitch

Our Farrow jean short is a classic summer staple.
The denim above is our Refined Japanese Denim in our medium vintage wash.

Farrow has a double row crescent stitch,
a nice detail which helps show off the gorgeous fabric.

Based on the classic 5-pocket fit of the Kennedy, the Farrow is
just like your favorite basic, but prepped for summer.

A lot of care is put into the handsanding of the
delicate back pocket area,being careful not to
make any holes or rip any stitches.

The Jagger is a super clean skinny fit with
a slightly higher than average 9" rise.

The clean topstitching on our blue/grey Heather Mix denim
makes for a not-too-heavy looking summer jean

The Jagger also comes in a whole bunch of coloured denims.

Above is our Lipstick Red, but you can also get your hands on
Electric Blue, Purple, White and Black.

The Steinem, a loose trouser fit with a medium 8" rise,
shown here in our lightweight Crosshatch Denim

The wide hem is a special little trouser detail we liked.

We also added a wide pocket hem and buttonholes
for a little extra worker styling.

The highwaisted Manelli has a corset style waist
and a wide trouser cut in the legs.

We gave this jean all navy topstitching for
a clean and modern look.
The Fine Weave Broken Twill fabric with a rinse wash has a bit of
stretch for comfort, but has a nice crisp feel to it.

The Sedgwick, our skinny jean with 7 1/2" low rise.
Love the Smoke Grey Denim in a rinse wash.

Sedgewick back pockets have a special little curved seam with topstitching.
Another nice feature is the double back yoke,
just a bit of fun patternmaking for you

What is Yarncraft?

Well, we're a new clothing line based out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We got tired of all the gimmicks and tricks in the fashion industry, so we decided to start a new, better company which would make a line of guys and girls jeans that are made of really nice denim and fit really good. We also wanted to make them right here in Quebec, so we did that too.

And then we thought "hey we really like designing tops too" but we wanted to make really special tops, not just "seen it a million times" boring tops. Really, really nice tops using nice fabrics. Like slubby raw silk. And soy mixed with bamboo. Oh and good old cotton too. We made sure the tops have nice little details like hand stitching, or little pleats and special buttons. We added some nice graphics to a few things as well, done by a local illustrator/graphic designer, not grabbed out of clip art or stolen from another company. He's very ethical that way, and we like that.

We think and learn a lot about the "craft" of making clothing. It's a pretty old one when you stop to think about it, and usually it involves a "yarn" of one kind or another, which is how we came up with the name.

So there you have it, Yarncraft. We're putting some nice things together for you, so be patient and we'll get it to you as soon as we can.
