_wildhand_ Supply shop for fiber folk. Wild Hand is a community that believes in the magic of fiber craft: to Nestled in Philadelphia’s Mt.

Airy neighborhood, we offer materials, education, and community to encourage curiosity for fiber craft: weaving, crochet, knitting, felting, spinning, dyeing, knotting, stitching, fleece processing, and more! We believe that the wellbeing of our fiber community — including the people, land, and animals that create the supplies we sell — is more important than anything else. With that in mind, we carefully select the supplies we carry and promote.

We had a BIG KAOS arrive last week (we can't seem to keep this yarn on the shelves). This is the biggest shipment we've ever received from KAOS Yarn. Sweater quantities in all of the colors of Luxury Merino and Alpaca are stocked-up! We love so many things about ... these colors are goooood 🌈. We admire their thoughtful and diligent environmental standards when it comes to fiber sourcing, production, and dyeing. Big fans over here!⁠ ⁠

NEW!! We are lovin' the love for 90 Varas from . This is a unique collection crafted from transhumant Merino wool that pays homage to Spanish pastoral tradition. Its distinctive colors, with natural nuances and shimmers, lend a special beauty to each skein, reflecting the richness of the landscapes when the sheep graze. With each project you support the conservation of transhumance, a sustainable and cultural practice that deserves to be preserved for future generations.⁠

~⁠

Transhumance, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, connects seasons, landscapes and history through the royal drove roads, ancient paths that still preserve the essence of this sustainable grazing system. Hence the name of this collection, 90 Varas, the traditional measure of the width of these ravines, equivalent to 75 meters. These routes, with a length of more than 125,000 kilometers, cover 1% of Spanish territory and are a living testament to the balance between nature and human activity.⁠
