About Yarndings 20 Fonts

The Soft Type Collection is designed for knitters to chart out their typographic projects. Yarndings is an ornamental typeface inspired by a mix of typographic ornamentation, traditional Fair Isle & Nordic knitting patterns, and dingbat fonts from the 1990's.

Each typeface has a “Regular” and “Charted” version, and some include multiple scales so you can fit type on your knits, no matter the project's size. Check out the charted version Yarndings 20 Charted.

In this collection, the number following the typeface's name indicates the height of the capital letters for that typeface.
