Each skein of Knit Collage yarn is hand-dyed, carded & spun by a group of 13 women artisans in Punjab, India. The small, community operation supports the livelihood of the Indian women who lovingly craft each skein. Cast Away is a soft, super bulky, hand-spun yarn that comes in a variety of confectionary hues. The thick & thin texture of this yarn makes even the simplest stitch patterns unique & interesting. The "sparkle" colors have a fun metallic glint. A wonderful yarn for spirit-lifting hats, mittens, scarves & cowls or even home items.
