Jo Sharp Yarns
Jo Sharp Yarns Yarn Jo Sharp Yarn has been a trusted favourite with knitters since 1992. The look and feel of Jo Sharp Double Knit yarn is natural because it is not machine wash treated. It is made with extra long, extra soft fibre to prevent piling, and to produce a luxuriously soft fabric to knit with and wear. The range of shades have been designed for timeless wearability, so the shade you use in this season will still look the part in years to come.

WOOLganic Yarns
WOOLganic Yarns Yarn WOOLganic yarns are spun from certified organic Australian Merino fleece wool. No synthetic inputs are used on the livestock - no dips, drenches, back lining or antibiotics. WOOLganic yarns are cleaned or scoured using only hot water and detergent. The wool is carded and combed on machinery that has been cleaned of conventionally grown fibres before the organic wool is processed. WOOLganic yarns are spun on machinery that is flushed before spinning to be sure there is no fibre contamination from non-organic yarn. We spin in a mill that has current organic certification from BIOGRO. WOOLganic yarns are dyed with low impact dyes. They are metal free. WOOLganic yarns are made from 21.5 micron merino fleece wool making them soft enough to be worn directly against the skin with out scratching. Our yarns have a slightly increased twist to reduce pilling. GOOD FOR THE SHEEP, GOOD FOR THE EARTH, GOOD FOR YOU!
