Fiddlehead Bundle In New Colors

Your gift-knitting season is short, and winter is long… and our collection of free and super easy Fiddlehead Bundle (no longer available) accessory patterns addresses both realities! In our incredible Fiddlehead, these quick knits are the softest, coziest, blow-you-away-beautiful-est arctic attire you can imagine!

Whether you’re casting on for our Loop + Tuck Scarf, our Coziest Cowl, our Toasty Hat + Mittens, or our new Warm + Fuzzy Kerchief, all you need is our two-skein Fiddlehead Bundle and you’re good to go!

Soft and cozy Fiddlehead infuses each of these Fiddlehead Bundle (no longer available) accessories with its own brand of joy, full of a distinctive mix of charisma and personality, elegance and beauty.

Lots of highly textured yarns involve a bit of nylon, but not Fiddlehead. It is 100% natural, 100% alpaca, and 1000% incredibly soft against your skin!

It features waves of amazingly soft roving that undulate along fine central strands of alpaca. The result is a delightfully curly surface and an ethereal buoyancy, making Fiddlehead Bundles big on volume but light as air!

More… There are actually two shades of roving traveling along the central threads, sometimes quite different (like the blue and purple above, third skein down) and sometimes more subtle (like the two pinks above, top skein), but always adding tremendous depth and beauty to the color.

Each project shown here only requires one two-skein Fiddlehead Bundle (no longer available), which comes in 17 gorgeous colors (8 of them are brand new!). So, pick up a Fiddlehead Bundle or two for the knitters in your life, or cast on for some quick and beautiful gifts… Or treat yourself and make your own cozy Fiddlehead accessory!

LEARN ABOUT FIDDLEHEAD + ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL YARNS

Fiddlehead brings joy wherever it goes! Delightfully curly, it is 100% alpaca and as soft as you can imagine. One characteristic of Fiddlehead that’s hard to convey in photos is just how surprisingly light and airy it is, so although it is a super bulky-weight yarn, it practically floats off your needles! Available in lots of gorgeous colors and in 2-skein gift bundles, too, Fiddlehead is as fun as it is beautiful!
