Haus of Yarn's affinity for zinnias goes back to the beginning of the pandemic, when we learned that in old-fashioned flower lore, they represent thoughts of absent friends. Since then, our friend Rin at Nashville's Modus Operandi Fibers has dyed us up something special with zinnias we grew ourselves each season.

2026's installment is dyed with with Nashville-grown zinnias, marigolds, and cosmos supported by speckles of cochineal for a bright pink oomph.

There are two colorways on four bases this year:

Zinnia Dawn, on Silky Fingering and Lace Mohair

Zinnia Dusk, on naturally grey yak bases Yak Fingering and Lace Yak
