We’re so excited to give you a first look at Dilly Dally, the newest plant-based yarn from Knit Picks! This DK-weight dream is spun from Pima cotton, bamboo, and hemp, combining silky drape, soft feel, and earthy durability in one gorgeous skein.
With 15 radiant jewel tones (plus a dyeable Bare option!), Dilly Dally is perfect for breezy tops, mesh totes, babywear, and every joyful summer project in between. It’s soft, breathable, and totally sustainable. This is a feel-good fiber with serious style.
Why Hemp? The Unsung Hero of Yarn Blends
Don’t let its rugged reputation fool you, hemp in yarn form is a game-changer. When blended with soft, silky fibers like Pima cotton and bamboo (like in Dilly Dally), hemp adds a surprising combo of structure, breathability, and long-lasting durability but without the scratch.
Hemp gives your stitches just the right amount of body and crispness, making lace, colorwork, and texture pop without compromising comfort. It’s the secret behind that lightweight structure you can feel.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
- Softens beautifully: every wash and wear softens this beautiful summer yarn
- Stronger than cotton: perfect for garments and bags that hold up over time
- Naturally antimicrobial and UV resistant: the yarn that you want for summer garments
- Eco-friendly to the core: hemp uses minimal water, grows fast, and thrives without pesticides
