Kremke Soul Wool
Reborn Wool Recycled is a 100% post-consumer waste product made from wool garments that were hand-sorted into their respective colour families, shredded, and milled back into yarn.
Given most wool garments available in the mass market are blended with acrylic fibres, the resulting yarn has a 65% wool component, a 25% mix of acrylic fibres and 10% rPET (recycled polyester) that’s added to aid the spinning process.
With a soft woolly hand-feel and gently heathered palette Reborn Wool Recycled is a feelgood yarn both in hand and heart.
BC Garn
Loch Lomond GOTS by BC Garn is a charming 100% wool, tweed style yarn with Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification.
Minimally processed, this woollen spun yarn has lightness and loft making it soft, springy and warm.
Available in a range of delicately heathered shades made possible by ‘dyeing in the wool’, where the wool fibres are dyed prior to spinning, bringing life to the palette.
With its GOTS certification, this yarn meets strict ecological and social criteria to ensure the entire supply chain meets the leading worldwide standard for organic textile production.
All in which make this yarn perfectly suited to a range of rustic and warming handknits and woven pieces that will see you through the coldest days.
