A quiet tribute in yarn and color

There are stories that live on in every thread. This one begins fifteen years ago in a small garden when two Turkish poppy plants found a new home – a birthday gift that no one suspected would one day rest in your hands.

"The story begins 15 years ago when I was gifted two Turkish poppy plants for my birthday. They bloomed bright red and multiplied."

Those who know poppies only as fleeting beauty may not understand the patient expectation that fills the garden every May. The wait for the moment when the crumpled silk bursts forth from the seed pods. A miracle in slow motion.

After a few years, it happened – the children of the poppy parents presented themselves in a play of colors that no one had anticipated. No longer just the familiar red, but suddenly: delicate pink, deep magenta, and velvety violet.

What magic.

The transformation

Anyone standing in front of a poppy field experiences color in its purest form. But our dyer experiences more – she becomes part of this magic when she looks into the blossoms that last only a few days yet unfold a complete beauty.

"When I look into the poppy, I become part of its magic in red, pink, magenta, and violet."

This connection – between human, plant, color – is not an assembly line. It is a dialogue between an artist and what nature has entrusted to her. An encounter that now lives on in every strand of our May edition.

The May strand

The sock yarn that you can now hold in your hands is more than dyed yarn. It is a tribute to the 'poppy parents' and their surprising children. It carries the story of a garden within it, the patience of the years, the surprise of unexpected color nuances.

Each strand is a small piece of this story. A part of those quiet moments in May when the blossoms break open and the world is briefly immersed in red, pink, magenta, and violet.

This limited edition is more than a product – it is a creative dialogue between an artist and her garden. At Bonifaktur, we believe in exactly this kind of connection: between hands and hearts, between colors and feelings, between what grows and what we create.

Where every stitch is a decision for beauty.
