This intense, juxtaposed ambiance holds endless allure, especially for creative souls. Today, we’re immersing ourselves in this electrifying world, exploring yarn palettes inspired by the pulsing heart of Cyberpunk themes.

So, ready your needles and let’s venture into this neon-lit, code-driven realm together, creating tactile masterpieces that echo the soul of Cyberpunk. 🌃🧶🔌

Gunnar

“Gunnar” means “fighter” in Norse mythology. We want this palette to create a feeling of shedding some light on the dependency we have as humans on our gadgets.

We humans are fighters, and we want people to know that we, too, can also be independent of technology.
