Known for its sparkler-like blossoms, witch hazel is a charismatic plant that gives its name to a charismatic yarn: our supremely cuddlesome Witch Hazel!
- Like its namesake, Witch Hazel is a burst of delicate, feathery strands. A 100% incredibly soft Pima cotton yarn, it is a satisfying mix of softness and strength, with a strong braided thread at the core to anchor you as you knit. Witch Hazel is easy and absolutely joyful to knit, creating a surprisingly lightweight and airy fabric that you won't be able to stop touching!
- Once your project is finished, you can choose to hand wash and air dry the fabric to maintain the same size and feel, or you can run it through the washer and dryer to shrink the fabric slightly, making it denser and fluffier while keeping its supple hand.
Our 3-color Witch Hazel Bundles include 3 fuzzy, little 50-gram balls of Witch Hazel to create a set of 3 Softest Cotton Washcloths. Each palette is inspired by an evocative natural setting: Fjord's moody blues, Dune's sandy shades, and the delicate pinks and tans of Seashell. An All 9 Colors Bundle is just the thing for a big stack of 9 washcloths, and be sure to pick a single color of Witch Hazel for a coordinating Softest Cotton Bath Mat, and sink into the softest cotton ever!
