Soft Yellow Indigenous Wool Yarns

Soft Yellow (Marigold 10%): Premium Desi Oon Indigenous 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 crafted for makers who value authentic, slow fashion. To achieve this delicate, soft yellow, we dye our small artisan batches using a gentle 10% extraction of pure marigold petals. The result is a stunning, pale yellow that brings instant warmth and heritage craftsmanship to your needles.

WHY BUY THESE WOOL YARNS? Because authentic indigenous 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 seasonal botanical harvests. This means our Soft Yellow is inherently limited by nature. When you invest in these yarns, you are securing a truly unique, small-batch fiber that supports local shepherds and sustainable practices. Secure your sweater quantity before this floral harvest is gone.

THE STUDIO SWATCH SPECS We rigorously tested this exact batch in the studio to give you the perfect gauge for your next design:

• Stitch: Stockinette (Washed & Blocked)

• Gauge: 20 stitches x 34 rows = 10 cm (4 inches)

• Extraction: 10% Marigold

WHAT IS THIS WOOL LIKE TO KNIT WITH? Engineered for smooth, effortless crafting with a rustic soul. Sitting beautifully at 20–23 microns, this premium 4-ply desi oon wool glides seamlessly on the needles and possesses an incredible natural bounce that snaps right back into shape. These yarns provide the perfect balance of beginner-friendly softness and the rugged, pill-resistant durability that master designers trust for lasting heirloom garments.

WHAT CAN YOU MAKE WITH THESE YARNS? This delicate, sunlit yellow is perfect for projects that demand a gentle, cheerful aesthetic. It is highly recommended for lightweight spring cardigans, airy shawls, cozy baby garments, and premium textured accessories.
