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 21 peaceful colors ranges from serene Glacier Blue to cheerful Chamomile Yellow.
  • Check out our growing collection of knitting patterns in Witch Hazel and let your creativity run wild!

We also have beautiful 3-color and 9-color Witch Hazel Bundles, perfect for knitting sets of color-coordinated Softest Cotton Washcloths or Fluffy Washcloth + Mitts!
