African Expressions was born from the desire for Africa to share her natural beauty with the rest of the world. Through our unique range of yarns we express the essence of that which makes Africa magical. Our network of local farmers breed stock bearing excellent fibres to ensure our yarns are naturally soft to the touch, easy to knit and luxuriously versatile. 365 days a year, 7 days a week, our

farmers enjoy a close and special relationship with their herd and the animals enjoy a life unsurpassed, ensuring the production of a better quality of natural fibre for the benefit of all lovers of knitting. From farm to store, each and every process is handled with the utmost of care to ensure that the fibres are treated delicately and with the respect that they deserve. Our range of select colours is inspired by the landscapes of South Africa - from sunrise to sunset. Each colour represents one small element that makes Africa, Africa. Our heart and soul is knitted firmly into Africa and would like to invite you to join us in this “African Expressions” Experience.

Today we welcome not only a new day but also a new season. Spring is a time of renewal. Nature comes to life with budding trees, new flowers, buzzing bees and bird songs filling the air. We find ourselves surrounded by inspiration for colour combinations, silhouettes and textures.

Do seasonal changes influence your yarnie projects?

The youthful soul is driven by curiosity. Playfully learning and facing life's challenges with fierce courage. Belief in expressing creativity in everything they do.

It is thanks to many South African youths whose creativity, talents, and courage helped shape a democratic South Africa. We celebrate them today with every stitch today 💙

A skein of yarn holds so much potential. Through creativity, mastered skills and passion, a single strand can be transformed in to wearable art. Yes, any item that is made by hand no matter the simplicity is a work of art.

Our skeins of Inspires hold the potential to become anything your mind, skills and passion can dream of. Perhaps a pair of felted slippers, a beanie, a pullover or a comfy cardigan. Unleash the potential.
