Wild Bloom

Luxurious and exuberant as a field of wildflowers, Wild Bloom is a wispy yet substantial lace-weight yarn. The combination of baby alpaca, silk, merino, and yak fibers create an exceptionally soft halo that feels like a warm hug.

Yak fiber is similar in softness to cashmere, while adding a uniquely airy quality to the yarn. Knit Wild Bloom at a larger gauge for lightweight but warm garments and accessories. Or hold a strand together with another yarn like Horizon or Floating to add a luscious halo to your project.

Our palette is inspired by our local Northern California flora and fauna such as the Pacific Ocean, redwoods, and golden grasses. Wild Bloom's pale grey base color adds depth and complexity to Verb's naturally-dyed hues.

Use Wild Bloom to add a touch of sophistication to any project!

We are currently knitting Ranunculus out of Wild Bloom held together with Frond - the fabric is absolutely divine! And the pattern calls for only two skeins of each base yarn!

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
