Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes Broadway yarns special?

Broadway yarns are prized for their 100% merino fibre (or merino blends), their soft hand, reliable consistency, and beautiful colourways. The brand offers both 4-ply and 8-ply options to suit a variety of knitting projects.

2. What’s the difference between 4-ply and 8-ply Broadway yarns?

• 4-ply (Baby Supremo / Fantasy lines): Lightweight, ideal for baby garments, shawls, fine accessories, and projects with delicate drape.

• 8-ply (Merino DK / blends): Thicker, more robust — great for jumpers, sweaters, outerwear, cardigans, and projects where structure is important.

3. Are Broadway yarns suitable for babies or people with sensitive skin?

Yes — the 4-ply “Baby Supremo” line is especially soft and made from pure merino, making it a good choice for baby knits, blankets, and garments worn close to skin.

4. How do I choose the right needle size or achieve the correct gauge?

Always check the recommended gauge on your pattern. Use the suggested needle sizes for Broadway yarns (as listed on product pages or labels). It’s wise to knit a small gauge swatch first to ensure your tension matches the pattern’s specification.

5. Do you have Broadway yarns in store as well as online?

Yes — Direct Sewing stocks its Broadway yarn range both online and in store in Auckland, so you can browse physically or shop from the comfort of home.

6. Can I get matching accessories (needles, stitch markers, etc.) to go with Broadway yarns?

Absolutely. Alongside Broadway yarns, Direct Sewing carries a full range of knitting accessories: circular & straight needles (e.g. KnitPro Symfonie), stitch markers, markers, needle protectors, and more.

7. What if I need a large quantity or a specific colour lot?

If you’re working on a big project and need multiple skeins from the same dye lot, it’s best to contact us ahead of time. We can check stock, reserve lots, or help source matching skeins.

8. Do you offer shipping across New Zealand?

Yes — Direct Sewing offers nationwide courier delivery on business days. (Refer to site shipping policy for timing and costs.)

9. What is your return or exchange policy for yarns?

Reach out to us with any issues and we will do out best to solve it for you and replace if we need to 

10. Can I mix Broadway yarns with other brands in one project?

Yes — but be cautious: differences in fibre content, twist, weight, or dyeing can affect how the finished item looks and behaves (e.g. tension shifts, colour bleeding). Always swatch and test before fully committing.
