Why Choose Hand-Dyed Yarn?

Before we talk about the specific shades, let’s first understand why hand-dyed yarns are such a special choice for crafting. Hand-dyed yarns are unique in that each skein is carefully crafted by artisans, ensuring a one-of-a-kind colorway. This means that no two skeins are exactly alike, adding a personal touch to your project. Additionally, hand-dyed yarns often feature rich, complex color blends that create stunning effects in both knit and crochet creations.
Symfonie Yarns, known for their expertise in hand-dyeing techniques, offers a wide variety of colors. Extrafine Merino wool is the major fiber in Viva (DK) and Bella (worsted-weight), along with blends of polyamide (25%) in Terra’s fingering weight yarn and silk (25%) in DK weight yarn. This range allows you to explore spring projects from gramnets, accessories and unique home decor, including gifts for loved ones.
