MDK Field Guide No. 3: Wild Yarns

Every knitter we know loves the wild yarns. We fall in love with these skeins again and again, for their sheer beauty as objects. But we also want to knit with them, and wear them, and enjoy them every day.

 MDK Field Guide No. 3: Wild Yarns celebrates the individuality and artistry of hand-dyed and multicolor skeins, and demonstrates how to show them off in projects that are fun to knit and lovely to wear. With creative director Melanie Falick guiding the way, we sought out designers who embrace the quirkiness of these yarns, and know how to make them shine and charm. There’s a knack to it, and these designers have it. Dianna Walla. Kirsten Kapur. Sue McCain. Together, this dream team came up with three designs that we are dying to knit and wear, using yarns that are in each case perfectly suited to the project.
