a bunch of yarn hanging on a brick wall

Hand-dyed yarn as artifacts: curated color, slow craft, stories in fibre.

Every skein tells a story.

Yarnthropology was born from a life of wandering — a practice of turning moments, memories, and places into color. What began with a single hand-knit hat became a journey through pigment, fibre, and meaning.

What We Believe

Yarn is memory, voice, and purpose.
Every colorway is crafted slowly, sustainably, and with stories that matter.

Every yarn begins with observation — landscapes, traditions, hidden details.

Curiosity as Craft
Sustainability in Action
Color with Meaning
Creative Freedom

Slow dyeing, mindful choices, respect for what the earth offers.

Hue is history; each shade carries memory and intent.

Artistry without borders — curiosity and expression guide each skein.

What´s in a Thread?

We exclusively dye protein fibres—like silk, alpaca, mohair, and nylon blends—because they take colour like nothing else.

Our yarns are responsibly sourced from mills that prioritize ethical farming, animal welfare, and sustainable processing. Each base is selected for softness, durability, and story:

✓ Silk from China, prized for its strength and lustre
✓ Mohair from RMS-certified farms in South Africa
✓ Alpaca from small producers in the Peruvian Andes
✓ Nylon from Germany, used in blends for resilience

We believe transparency deepens connection. Every skein begins with respect—for land, people, and animals.

To honour that origin, we’ve created a guide to help you care for your yarn—so its story can endure.

Dye Philosophy

Every color is more than a hue. It is an emotion, a memory of place, a presence that can be felt. Each skein is paired with the fiber that amplifies its story — silk for sheen, alpaca for warmth, slubs for froth like whisked matcha. Together, they become artifacts of intention, waiting to be shaped into new forms.

Craft with Conscience

Hand-dyed yarns hold more than color — they carry culture, memory, and care. Each skein is crafted with intention, inviting makers to weave stories that last.
