Wildflower Meadow — DK Weight Recycled Silk Yarn
Bring a blooming spring meadow to your needles with Wildflower Meadow, Darn Good Yarn®'s hand-dyed DK weight recycled silk yarn. Inspired by wildflowers swaying in a gentle breeze, this dreamy colorway blends calming pastel tones with vibrant pops of color — creating a beautifully artistic look in every stitch. 🌸
Spun from recycled silk and sustainably made in India, this luxe yarn is as kind to the planet as it is to your projects. The smooth silk fiber glides effortlessly off your needles or hook, giving your finished piece a natural sheen and drape that synthetic yarns simply can't match. Each skein is hand-dyed, so subtle variations in color are part of the charm — no two skeins are exactly alike.

FAQs
What projects work best with this yarn?
Wildflower Meadow is perfect for lightweight garments (tees, cardigans, tanks), shawls, wraps, scarves, and spring accessories. The silky drape makes it especially stunning in lace or open-stitch patterns.
Is each skein exactly the same color?
No — this yarn is hand-dyed, so each skein will have subtle differences in color placement and tone. That's part of what makes it special! We recommend purchasing all skeins for a single project at the same time, and alternating skeins every few rows for the most consistent look in larger projects.
What needles and hooks should I use?
We recommend US 6 (4 mm) knitting needles and a US H-8 (5 mm) crochet hook as starting points. As always, swatch first and adjust needle/hook size to match your desired gauge.
How do I care for finished items made with this yarn?
Hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing to keep the silk fibers soft and the colors vibrant.
Is this yarn ethically made?
Yes! This yarn is sustainably made in India from recycled silk. Darn Good Yarn® works directly with artisan communities and supports local schools, ensuring your purchase makes a positive impact beyond your craft room.
How much yarn do I need for a shawl or garment?
A small shawl or scarf typically uses 1–2 skeins (135 yds each). A larger wrap or cardigan may require 4–8 skeins depending on your size and pattern. Always check your pattern's yardage requirements before purchasing.
