Eco Lush is another beautiful 4 ply yarn from Nurturing Fibres. Spun from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% bamboo this yarn is soft and strong with a subtle sheen. The bamboo adds a silkiness and reduces the weight so this yarn will knit or crochet elegant shawls or larger garments with delicious drape. A fantastic choice for children and adults alike.
Expertly hand-dyed by Nurturing Fibres in South Africa. The cotton is grown locally, the water used to soak the skeins in preparation for dyeing is recycled and used to irrigate the staff Vegetable Garden. All other water used in the dyeing process is ph balanced and then used to irrigate the 120 Olive trees. The washing of equipment and the yarn is done with Borehole water. As this water is sourced on the farm, it has a much lower environmental impact compared to other water sources.
