Yarns, Fibres, and More Created Mindfully

We care about our effect on our environment and using sustainable methods to create beauty

  • Organic Yarns

    We select certified organic yarns and apply our natural dyes to them. The certification is based on social/fair trade and environmental factors.

  • Natural Dyes

    We use a combination of foraged and purchased dyestuff, depending on availability. These natural dyes come from plants and insects.

  • Local Wool

    We buy wool from Ontario producers and dye their wool using our methods and natural dyes.
