Zauberball Crazy 100g : Cool Botanical Garden - Inspiration Kieran Foley 2542

This multicoloured 4-ply yarn is a sophisticated tribute to nature’s quieter moments. Developed in collaboration with Kieran Foley, the "Cool Botanical Garden" colourway is a curated mix of frosty teals, soft succulents, and crisp, leafy greens. Because it uses the signature Zauberball two-strand twist—where two differently dyed plies are spun around one another—the result is a beautifully dappled, artisanal finish. It mimics the natural variation you’d find in a real garden, with shades blending seamlessly into one another rather than forming harsh lines.

The cake itself has that lovely, hand-wound appearance that we find so inviting. Made from a dependable blend of 75% Pure New Wool and 25% Nylon, it offers the perfect marriage of softness and strength. While it’s a wonderful choice for a pair of high-end socks, we think it really comes into its own when used for delicate lace-work or a lightweight spring wrap. The generous 420-metre length allows the cool, botanical tones to evolve slowly, creating a fabric that feels calm and cohesive.  Check out our kit "Donnie at the Duckpond" for the best shawl like this!

Artisanal colour for a peaceful knit

We’ve rated this for everyone from Beginners to Confident makers because the yarn brings so much character to the table. For those just starting out, the shifting greens and teals provide a lovely "rhythm" to your knitting, making it easy to see your progress row by row. For the more seasoned maker, the subtle marled effect adds an extra layer of depth to complex stitch patterns, making your finished piece look like a true designer original.

One of the things we love most is that it’s as practical as it is pretty. It’s machine washable, so you can wear your handmade creations out and about without a second thought. One 100g ball is all you need for a pair of adult socks, and about five balls will make a medium-sized jumper with a truly unique, hand-crafted feel. It’s a lovely, authentic way to bring a touch of the garden into your wardrobe all year round.
