Knitting with VIVA

Viva DK – Fall in Love with Every Stitch

Viva DK by Symfonie Hand-Dyed Yarns is the merino yarn that turns crafting dreams into reality. From the very first touch, it’s clear that this yarn is something special – plump, soft, and radiantly coloured. Each skein feels alive with artistry, carrying the soul of India’s master dyers straight to your needles or hook.

First Impressions

The first thing you’ll notice about Viva DK is its incredible softness – a buttery, extra fine merino that glides effortlessly through your hands. The hand-dyed colourways are breathtakingly rich, from gentle tonal shifts to bold, vibrant hues that seem to shimmer with depth. Every skein feels like it has its own personality, a piece of art waiting to become something beautiful.

Why It Works

What makes Viva DK so irresistible is the perfect marriage of artisanal craftsmanship and practical usability. The round, springy twist gives every stitch perfect definition – whether you’re working detailed cables, textured patterns, or simple stockinette. It’s beautifully balanced: soft enough for next-to-skin garments, strong enough for long-lasting wear, and machine washable for real-life ease.

The dyeing process itself is where the magic happens. Each small batch is hand-dyed in New Delhi using Oekotex Class 100 certified dyes, ensuring both vivid, lasting colour and mindful environmental care. The result is a yarn that’s as ethical as it is exquisite.
