What Yarns does
Yarns Limited is a Hong Kong-based, privately held carpet and flooring solutions provider founded in 1998, headquartered in Quarry Bay. The company operates an in-house manufacturing facility and design team producing bespoke custom-made carpets using specialty fibers including silk, viscose, bamboo silk, rayon, and lyocell, complemented by an imported portfolio of broadloom, sisal, wool sisal, cowhide, and carpet tile products sourced from Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Yarns generates revenue through two primary channels: direct B2B project sales of custom-manufactured carpets, and exclusive distribution of premium international brands including OBJECT CARPET, VM Carpet, EDEL Carpets, Tasibel, Van Besouw, Robusta, Best Wool, Tretford, TOLI, Haima Carpet, and Creatuft across Hong Kong, China, and/or Macau. Since 2021, the portfolio has expanded to include hard-surface flooring (woven vinyl, LVT, SPC) and wallcoverings, with recent launches (2024–2026) emphasizing sustainable materials such as recycled PET and Econyl. Pricing is project-based via catalog request rather than publicly listed.
The customer base is enterprise-oriented and concentrated in hospitality (Langham, Raffles, Ascott, Nina Hotel, multiple Lei Garden outlets), private clubs (Hong Kong Jockey Club, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, multiple golf clubs), banking (HSBC, BOCHK, Dah Sing), luxury retail (Cartier, Lady M, Omega), and premium residential developers (China Overseas, Regalia Bay, Kadoorie Hill). The company employs 11–50 people, is sales-led, and markets primarily through its website blog, project gallery, and direct engagement from the Hong Kong headquarters.
