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!
  • Each fuzzy little 50-gram ball of Witch Hazel gives you 48 yards of bulky-weight yarn, just the right yardage to whip up a wonderfully plush washcloth.
  • 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.
  • Witch Hazel’s palette of 9 peaceful colors ranges from serene Glacier Blue to cheerful Chamomile Yellow… Let your creativity run wild!

We also have 3-ball Witch Hazel Bundles, perfect for a set of 3 color-coordinated 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… Very nice!
