"Wrap your creativity in the warmth of woodland earth.”

Introducing our Hanji Paper Yarn in Woodland Chestnut, a deep, earthy brown inspired by tree bark, fallen leaves, and the quiet strength of the forest floor. This grounding hue captures the richness of aged chestnut wood and the stillness of nature’s shadows. Crafted from the inner bark of the mulberry tree and hand-dyed by artisans using centuries-old Korean techniques, each skein is a tribute to heritage, resilience, and natural beauty. Lightweight yet strong, Woodland Chestnut brings bold warmth and organic texture to your most inspired projects.

What is Hanji Yarn?

Hanji yarn is a lightweight, biodegradable natural fiber known for its exceptional breathability, moisture-wicking, and odor-eliminating properties. It maintains the smoothness of filament yarn while offering a distinctive natural texture, blending the best qualities of cotton and linen. Hanji yarn provides excellent durability, dye affinity, and wash resistance, while naturally featuring antibacterial qualities, superior deodorization, and quick-drying comfort.
