Harmony DK
$18.00
Harmony DK starts as a pile of leftover fiber on a mill floor in Peru. Yarn Citizen founder Laura Zander watched skilled artisans sort freshly sheared wool and alpaca by hand — and saw thousands of pounds of high-quality ends headed for the trash. She asked them to spin it into something new instead. The result is Harmony DK: upcycled, earth-conscious, and beautiful.
Sourced from animals born and raised in the Peruvian highlands. Harmony DK creates beautiful shawls, garments, accessories, and more.
