_wildhand_ Supply shop for fiber folk. Wild Hand is a community that believes in the magic of fiber craft: to Nestled in Philadelphia’s Mt.

Airy neighborhood, we offer materials, education, and community to encourage curiosity for fiber craft: weaving, crochet, knitting, felting, spinning, dyeing, knotting, stitching, fleece processing, and more! We believe that the wellbeing of our fiber community — including the people, land, and animals that create the supplies we sell — is more important than anything else. With that in mind, we carefully select the supplies we carry and promote.

Meet JESSICA!! Jessica is a long-time customer one of our newest team members and you'll see her in the shop on weekends and evenings. We are so very happy to have her on the team! Jessica moved to Mt. Airy 7 years ago and loves all the magic and community that Mt. Airy has to offer. Her grandmother taught her to knit at a young age, though it didn’t stick. 15 years ago, Jessica re-learned the basics of knitting and hasn’t looked back since. She enjoys sewing and weaving as well, though knitting is her true love. Her favorite part about working at Wild Hand is helping beginners, and see their excitement as it all comes together.

Just restocked in oh-so-many colors! This beautiful, versatile, 100% unmercerized cotton from the one and only Maurice Brassard is well known for being soft, absorbent, and having a matte finish, making it a favorite for weaving items like dishtowels, placemats, and baby blankets, among many other things! This lovely 8/2 cotton comes in oh-so-many colors of 1/2 lb. cones (1680 yards).
