Organic yarns offer many befits: for the knitter and wearer who might experience skin sensitivity or allergies, and for the environment, as the manufacturing process minimizes the chemicals used in the growing, dyeing and manufacturing processes.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification is the leading standard for organic fibers in the world and it includes stringent criteria at every stage of the supply chain. From the percentage of organic material to use the label ‘organic’ (95%) or ‘made with organic materials’ (70%) to the treatment of textile workers and the impact production processes have on the environment, GOTS is there to ensure that things are done in a manner that’s ethical, sustainable, and friendly to people and the planet.
