KidKnits | Knitting Craft Kits for Kids

KidKnits Yarn: 
One ball of yarn. One woman. One day’s salary. One way to change the world. 

KidKnits merino wool yarn
Kid Knits kits come in five colors of yarn.  These color names are taken from the native language in Rwanda: Kinyarwandan.  The yarn is a very soft merino wool blend, and each ball is carefully hand-spun in Rwanda.  All of our yarn is hand-dyed using natural dyes commonly found in Rwanda.  In addition to being included within our knitting craft kits, this high-quality organic yarn is also available by itself.  Check our store for detailed pricing information.

Our yarn color names are:

  • Indabo, which means flower, is our orange yarn.
  • Ikigina is our brown yarn, and means brown.
  • Inturusu, which means eucalyptus, is our yellow yarn.
  • Umweru, which means white, is our natural, undyed yarn.
  • Dejina, the newest KidKnits color, is a deep shade of green.
