We are Handmayk

Welcome to Handmayk, your one-stop destination for all your fibre art and craft needs - curated by textile artists.

MMXVI

In 2016, Handmayk was born out of the passion and determination of its founder, Roya.

Frustrated with the limited options and inconsistent quality of yarns available in the market, she set out on a mission to redefine the yarn retail experience.

What started as a personal quest soon evolved into a remarkable journey of becoming a leading name in the fibre art and craft world.

International Recognition

Handmayk has come a long way.

What began as a yarn retailer has now become an expansive platform, representing internationally popular brands such as Circulo, DMC, Rowan, MODE at Rowan, Performance, Bobbiny, King Cole, and more.

Recognised for our commitment to excellence, we have also introduced our line of yarn, aptly named Handmayk, to cater to the discerning needs of our valued customers.

Creativity

As a progressive company, we didn't stop at yarns alone.

Embracing the essence of artistic exploration, Handmayk expanded its horizons to encompass various mediums, such as embroidery, macramé, tufting, dyeing, and printing.

This broadened spectrum allowed us to nurture the creativity of countless fibre artists and crafters, making Handmayk a true hub of inspiration.

Unwavering Dedication to Quality

At Handmayk, we take immense pride in curating exceptional quality products and delivering unparalleled customer service.

Each yarn, thread, and accessory we offer has been chosen to ensure the utmost satisfaction of our customers.

Our Sustainability Initiative

At Handmayk, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and making a positive difference.

We are proud to stock a wide range of sustainable products and aim to add more high-quality, eco-friendly products that align with our sustainability values.

We are also working towards using more eco-friendly and biodegradable materials in our packaging.

We hope that by taking these steps, we can make a difference for our planet and future generations.

From Yarns Dubai to Handmayk

In 2023, Handmayk underwent a transformation.

Originally known as Yarns Dubai, we decided to rebrand ourselves as Handmayk.

This change was not just a symbolic name shift but a reflection of our evolution as a multi-faceted creative platform.

With an expanding repertoire of mediums and an international presence, Handmayk had grown beyond its yarn-centric roots to become a beacon of innovation in the fibre art and craft industry.

Trademark

In 2024, Handmayk achieved another significant milestone by becoming a registered trademark in the United Arab Emirates.

This trademark symbolises our growth, authenticity, and dedication to quality and innovation.

It also marks a new chapter in our journey, solidifying Handmayk's presence as a trusted and recognised name in the fibre art and craft community.

Art

In 2024, Handmayk debuted in the art world by participating in World Art Dubai, promoting the art of tufting through an immersive, large-scale workshop experience and showcasing a curated selection of tufted artworks.

Building on that success, Handmayk returned in 2025 to manage the Textile Hub at World Art Dubai - a first-of-its-kind space dedicated entirely to textile and fibre art.

We proudly represented renowned international artists and brought textile techniques to the forefront through engaging, hands-on workshops.

With this bold step, Handmayk became the only brand in the region focused exclusively on textile and fibre-based art, bridging the gap between craft and contemporary art and championing a new movement within the creative community.

Roya's Yarns

In 2025, Roya became the UAE’s first hand-dyed yarn brand - crafted by Handmayk’s co-founder, Roya, in her Dubai studio.

Blending artistry with innovation, each skein is meticulously dyed to create unique colourways that inspire knitters, crocheters, and textile artists alike.

With an unwavering commitment to quality and creativity, Roya is setting a new benchmark for hand-dyed yarns in the region.

We Are Handmayk

Today, Handmayk symbolises boundless creativity and dedication to fibre art and craft enthusiasts.

We embrace diversity, uphold quality, and celebrate the artisans who bring their visions to life with our items.
