Shop sustainable yarns by values
Sustainability has always been crucial in the world of crafting. As we all know, small changes can make a big difference, and that is no different when it comes to knitting. If you’re an eco-conscious knitter, there are certain types of sustainable yarn you can choose to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of your craft while making environmentally conscious choices.
From organic and plant-based yarns to undyed and mulesing-free fibres, let’s explore our most sustainable yarns.
Organic yarn is often made from natural fibres grown and processed without synthetic treatments, chemicals, pesticides, or fertilisers. These yarns adhere to strict organic standards, such as GOTS certifications. Krea Deluxe is a perfect example of this.
Plant-based yarns are vegan friendly, often made from plant fibres such as cotton, eucalyptus or seaweed, such as Pascuali Artic Pearl. They avoid using animal-derived materials such as wool or alpaca and are a popular choice for vegan knitters seeking environmentally friendly alternatives.
Undyed yarn refers to yarns that have no added colors. With a focus on natural beauty and fibres, undyed yarns avoid any chemical treatments, eliminating the need for energy-intensive dying, kind to sensitive skin. Baby cashmere from Pascuali is the finest example of this.
Mulesing-free yarn is a wool sourced from sheep that has not experienced the controversial mulesing process. Instead, farmers use humane methods with animal welfare in mind. This type of wool is often certified by standards such as Responsible Wool Standard (RWS).
