From knitting needles to wonderful yarns: the connection between KnitPro and Symfonie
The highly popular KnitPro knitting needles and crochet hooks can be found tucked away in many of our project bags and needle cases. KnitPro International, a family-owned business, started its journey in 2006 with just a small team of 7 people, and has since grown into a globally recognized brand employing over 1,500 people - mostly women.
With a perfect understanding of crafters' needs and yarn textures, the manufacturer decided a few years ago to enter the market with its own yarn brand: this is how Symfonie Yarns was born, where generations of inherited Indian fabric-dyeing expertise meet modern, premium quality. In their centers located in Delhi and Jaipur, the creators view colors as a true source of joy. Their debut collection was inspired by the stunning landscapes of India, marble mosques, pink palaces, the aromas of spice markets, and vibrant traditional textiles.
What makes Symfonie Viva so special?
The Symfonie Viva collection is not just yarn; it is liquid art wound into a skein. Here is why you will love it from the very first moment:
- 100% Extrafine Superwash Merino: Made from the finest, ultra-soft merino wool. It is exceptionally lightweight yet wonderfully warm, while its silky touch makes it the perfect choice for even the most sensitive skin (even for babies).
- Indulgence and practicality all in one: Although it is a luxury-tier yarn, caring for it is incredibly easy. Thanks to its Superwash treatment, it can be machine-washed on a 30-degree wool cycle, so you don't have to worry about felting.
- The magic of hand-dyeing: Each skein is dyed by hand, giving a stunning depth, texture, and character to the finished pieces. Moreover, thanks to KnitPro’s unique color-dyeing recipes, variations between different dye lots are minimal, ensuring excellent, consistent quality.
- Safety and environmental consciousness: The yarn carries the strict OEKO-TEX® 100 certification, guaranteeing that it contains no substances harmful to your health or the environment.
Designed for creation
Symfonie Viva is a classic DK weight (3) yarn that strikes the ideal balance between lightness and warmth. The 100-gram skeins pamper your hands with 220 meters of pure joy as you create. Whether you plan to knit (with 3.25–3.75 mm needles) or crochet (with 3.5–4.5 mm hooks) an elegant spring scarf, a cozy winter hat, or a gorgeous, eye-catching cardigan, Viva ensures fantastic stitch definition and a breathtaking drape for your work.
It is no coincidence that customer reviews all highlight the yarn's extraordinary softness, 'fantastic quality', and the pure joy of working with it!

Field of Flowers Shawl
Imagine draping a beautiful, fragrant field of flowers over your shoulders on cooler summer evenings or colorful autumn days! With its tiny, vibrant flower motifs and the radiance of hand-dyed Symfonie Viva yarn, this breathtaking shawl will be a true gem in your wardrobe. The contrast between the deep Pink Mauve, reminiscent of Indian landscapes, and the fresh, crisp Pistachio lends a playful yet infinitely elegant texture to this special accessory. Of course, you can also make it using your own color choices!
Technique: Crochet
Yarn requirements:
- 320g of Symfonie Viva yarn in Pink Mauve (approx. 4 skeins)

Sizes (S / M):
- Length at center back: approx. 66 cm (or approx. 76 cm in size M)

Special feature: The true magic of this shawl lies in the "join-as-you-go" technique. This means you don't have to sew a zillion tiny flowers together afterwards! You crochet the first flower motif completely through Round 3, and then join the subsequent flowers as you work, connecting them to the completed motifs using the chain spaces during the final (3rd) round. This way, the shawl grows organically into a field of flowers right before your eyes!
