Wild Hand
Supply Shop for Fiber Folk
We are a neighborhood supply shop for fiber folk. 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. Wild Hand is a community that believes in the magic of fiber craft: to bring together people who share a vision of an imaginative and just world.
Inspired by comforting design, the wonder and utility of natural materials, and always being on a learning curve, Wild Hand is a place where folks of all ages and abilities are in good company. Our community explores, plans, learns, and makes in different ways, and we make space that encourages these differences. We believe that the care and intention our hands put into creating something happily lingers in the materials, connecting us to each other and generations of fiber traditions before us.
