Pastel Yellow

(2% Marigold): Premium Desi Oon & Natural Dye Wool Yarns

Knit with the gentle, sunlit tones of mountain botanicals. Sourced directly from the high-altitude meadows of the Himalayan region, these premium desi oon (traditional indigenous wool) yarns are meticulously crafted for designers and makers who value authentic, slow fashion. To achieve this delicate, pale yellow, we dye our small artisan batches using a gentle 10% extraction of pure marigold petals. The result is a stunning, 100% plant based dye finish that brings instant warmth and heritage craftsmanship to your needles.

WHY SOURCE THESE WOOL YARNS? Authentic natural dye wool yarns cannot be mass-produced on a factory floor. As a true representation of the slow textiles movement, our pure Himalayan wool is colored using strictly seasonal botanical harvests. This means our Soft Yellow is inherently limited by nature. By securing these yarns, you are investing in a truly unique, small-batch fiber that supports local shepherds and sustainable practices. Secure your sweater quantity before this floral harvest is fully allocated.
