A bunch of tulips that never wilts. Black Tulips pairs a variegated green, fresh stems and the spring fields they grow on, with the famous black tulip as the contrast colour: not truly black at all, but a deep, deep mix with hues of purple and green that read as black to the eye. As you work the pooling stitches, the mysterious dark bloom rises right out of the green. Hand-dyed in small batches in our solar-powered studio in Haarlem.

Assigned Pooling

Discover the magic of assigned pooling yarn! This hand-dyed yarn is specially designed to form a pattern while knitting using a specific stitch. By using one or more contrasting colours in the skein, following a particular knitting pattern creates a unique motif or colour block in your work.
