Taproots Fingering Weight Yarn Mini Skein Bundle includes six hand-dyed mini skeins - one of every color - for over 600 yards of yarn!
Taproots is woolen spun with a gorgeous loft and beautiful stitch definition, whether you’re knitting cables, lace, or plain stockinette. A mini version of the popular Roots Yarn, these minis are naturally hand-dyed specifically for our shop by Sunflower Knit. Their complimentary hues are perfect for colorwork, striping, or contrast colors on the toes and heels of your next sock project. They also work well and look so pretty as a loom weft!
Note: we have one mini skein bundle with no gray mini; instead, it has 2 minis of yellow! If you'd love this extra sunny bundle, drop us a note in the comments box at checkout when you order, and tell us "yellow mini skein bundle, please!"

The tiny team at Sunflower Knit creates beautiful and practical products using sustainable methods. Our all-natural lines focus on products for makers (especially our most popular Knitter's Joint line for aches and pains) and adventurers (like our healing salve to tackle bug bites, nettle stings, and other skin annoyances). By profession, Ash is a knitwear designer and natural dyer. By life, Ash is a fibre witch, hedgewitch, queer femme, and parent to the resident coven pooch, Willow.
