Corriedale/Merino Sustainable & Botanically Dyed Fingering (NY)
Fingering weight FLX/NY Corriedale + W-US Merino
5 g/ 200y
Botanically dyed
Sustainable and traceable
All our yarns are made of sustainably sourced, minimally treated natural fibers, botanically dyed in our tiny kitchen in New York City. Color is extracted from natural extracts, sustainably foraged plants or gathered dye stuff that would’ve otherwise gone to waste (such as avocado pits, onion skins, citrus peel, etc). We use non-toxic, food-grade, aluminum potassium sulfate as a mordant.
The base we work with is 100% sustainable new merino. The farms involved in producing this exquisite yarn take particular care to ensure that the animals are well kept, that the grading is of the highest standard and that the land is sustained in an environmental way.
Note: All our bases are non-superwash.
