In our search for truly beautiful and ethical yarns, Becca came across this star. We are so pleased to be one of the few British shops who stock this extra special yarn. Organic cotton from India is blended with linen and nettle fibre from Nepal. All fair-trade. The fibres are spun in Italy and due to the differences in how they take up dye, the yarn has a gentle semi-solid tone. A perfect yarn to see you through the year, it is breathable with the softness of cotton, strength of the linen that will wash and wash and hold its shape and the silkiness of the nettle fibre. Great stitch definition and excellent wearing means that this is a versatile yarn for all sorts of garments and accessories.
This is a perfect yarn for those who care about the environment, sustainability and animal welfare. As it is animal-free it is suitable for vegans.
