Wildflower is hand made from strips of super soft, cotton voile fabric. The fabrics are all printed in traditional Indian paisley and flower designs. The yarn is a happy mix of old world India prints paired with modern colors. When the craftswomen we work with receive the fabric, they then cut it into strips and knot it together to make each skein. Wildflower yarn is perfect for warm weather projects or knitters with wool allergies. The fabric is lightweight, so even though it calls for a larger needle size, the end result is still light and airy…and quick to knit!

To learn more about the women who make our yarns, visit our about us page. By supporting our business, you support the work of the Indian women that spin our yarns with as well as our women-run, US based small business!

Please note - the neon color, Coral Crush, is slightly more stiff due to the bright colors used in printing.

For the first time ever we’ve put together a mini skein kit, which JUST includes our Wildflower yarn, so that you can try 5 different colors at once without having to commit to 5 whole skeins. This is a fantastic way to give this yarn and all the colors it comes in a test spin and see which ones resonate best with you. Along with your kit comes 2 free patterns - a knit and crochet cowl. Of course, you’re free to make anything with them and we encourage you to get creative. These kits are ideal for weavers who might prefer a bundle of yarns in smaller yardages where the colors all work well together. The kits come in 4 color options: Blush Happy, High Vibes, Into the Woods and Sweet Dreams. They’re tied together with pretty, embellished ribbons from my travels to India.

Here’s what’s included:

Yarns A though E (5 mini skeins): Wildflower ~ 100% cotton ~ 17 yards per mini skein

After your order is complete - you will receive instructions on how to download the free patterns or you can download them here.

In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be releasing more patterns that work with these pretty kits. The patterns that call for our multi yarn mini kits, will also work with these skeins. Those are available to peruse here.
