Happiness is a golden ochre bulky handspun yarn, lovingly crafted from 100% merino wool in our West Virginia home. Available in approximately 100-yard and 200-yard hanks, this soft, plump, 2-ply yarn brings warmth and character to everything from cozy accessories to colorful accents.
Some colors just have a way of lifting your spirits, and Happiness is one of them.
Rich, golden, and full of warmth, Happiness brings to mind sun-drenched fields, golden honey, and those glorious autumn afternoons when the world seems to glow. Its golden-ochre tones make a beautiful statement on their own while pairing naturally with deep blues, forest greens, warm browns, and soft creams.
Each hank is individually handspun with an emphasis on consistent thickness and twist, making Happiness easier to incorporate into projects using commercially written bulky-weight patterns. It retains the character and gentle variations that make handspun yarn so special.
Big, Beautiful Stitches and a Little Creative Freedom
Happiness works up beautifully into chunky hats, cozy cowls, warm scarves, mitts, and other handmade accessories.
And not every project needs a full-sized hank!
Our smaller 100+ yard hanks are ideal for stripes, colorwork, contrasting cuffs, borders, or simply adding a splash of golden warmth to a favorite design. They're also a more affordable introduction to handspun merino for makers who want to try something special without committing to a larger project.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Pair Happiness with our Freedom (blue) and Liberty (cream) handspun colorways for a meaningful combination inspired by life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
There's a little Mountain State spirit in the mix, too. The golden warmth of Happiness alongside Freedom's brilliant blue brings to mind the familiar blue-and-gold traditions of West Virginia, where each hank is handspun.
Whether you're celebrating a little hometown pride or simply love the way these colors play together, the possibilities are yours to explore.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Happiness with a commercially written knitting or crochet pattern?
Yes! Happiness is purposefully spun with an emphasis on consistent thickness and twist, making it suitable for many patterns calling for bulky-weight yarn. As with any handspun yarn, we recommend checking your gauge before beginning.
Why offer smaller 100-yard hanks?
Smaller hanks give you more flexibility for accent colors, stripes, and colorwork without purchasing more yarn than your project requires. They're also a wonderful way to discover the feel and character of handspun merino at a lower price.
Will every hank be exactly the same?
Not quite, and that's part of the beauty of handspun! Although we aim for consistency, subtle variations in thickness and twist are natural. For projects requiring multiple hanks, we recommend purchasing enough yarn at one time for the best possible match.
