Yarn and knitting supplies in Malaysia: prices in RM

Updated 11 November 2026

In Malaysia yarn costs about RM 2 to RM 108 per ball or skein, depending on fibre and brand, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. A 100 g acrylic ball at about RM 6 is common, while merino and wool cost roughly RM 28 to RM 73. For offers on the exact yarn you need, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and local sellers reply with their own price.

Fibre, weight and what to write in the request

Yarn is sold by fibre content, weight in grams and length in metres: a 100 g acrylic ball of 6 ply, for example, is listed with about 170 m. Say the fibre (acrylic, cotton, merino or a blend), the ply or yarn weight (4 ply, DK, 10 ply), the colour and how many grams or metres you need. For a project, name the item and give the needle or hook size in mm, because it decides the stitch and how much yarn you will use.

Safety and warranty rules that apply

Some yarn sellers state OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification, an international textile safety standard that matters for baby items, so ask whether the yarn carries it. Malaysian law also lets a buyer claim against both the seller and the manufacturer for faulty goods, through product warranties and guarantees, so keep the receipt and the label with the yarn.

Season and climate

Malaysia is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter. Cotton and acrylic suit most projects in this heat, while wool is mainly chosen for cooler evenings and winter gifts sent abroad. Demand does not follow a single season, so you can buy in any month.

Delivery and how prices are quoted

Prices are in ringgit (RM). The listings do not say whether delivery is included, so ask for the total to your city: Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam. Each listing shows a price per item (ball, skein or cone), and yarn on cones for machine knitting is sold per cone, so count how many you need before you order.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. Describe the yarn you need in your own words in the chat, and add a photo of the pattern or the yarn if you have one. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to exchange them with.
