New + Improved | Semilla Grosso GOTS
With an official new title and GOTS certification, we're delighted to welcome back one of our favourite eco-friendly yarns - Semilla Grosso GOTS!
Semilla Grosso GOTS is a 100% organic wool yarn grown, spun and dyed in an environmentally sustainable way.
Sourced in Argentina from guaranteed mulesing-free farms, the raw material is certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), the leading textile processing standard for organic fibres.
Carefully spun and dyed in Italy, the yarn maintains its eco-cred by using only dye stuffs produced according to GOTS standards. That is, they are free from harmful substances such as toxic heavy metals and are biodegradable.
The yarn itself is smooth and round performing best over stocking stitch and cabled details. It’s perfect for satisfyingly uniform stitches and popping textural detail.
This yarn is perfect for quick winter accessories and cosy wardrobe staples.
