Enjoy knitting with the natural goodness of the Botanical line of Vivacious DK. Each skein is naturally hand–dyed in Peru using plants that are local to the region. Using overdyes, the colors have beautiful movement & depth. The garment-friendly tonals have subtle variation that deliver visual interest, but still allow stitch patterns to shine. Spun with 100% superwash Merino wool, the plied, DK weight has polished stitch definition & wears well. The soft, modern color palette is ideal for cardigans, pullovers, hats, cowls, scarves & capelets.
