We're welcoming Semilla Pura GOTS by BC Garn, a 100% organic wool yarn in a range of pure undyed, natural colours.
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.
Minimally processed, this woollen spun yarn has lightness and loft making it soft, springy and warm. The 2-ply construction yields a light smooth fabric with unexpectedly insulating results when knit or woven.
You’ll find Semilla Pura GOTS ideal for a range of woven and knit pieces, with particularly stunning results when working colourwork and lace details in the knitted fabric.
