Ecological Yarns are "in"!

After Nashua's Natural Focus Ecologie Cotton and Natural Focus Ecologie Wool (read earlier blog postings), we got three more ecological yarns, just in time for your spring and summer projects:

from Marks & Kattens: ECO baby bomull - a sport weight cotton in a lovely range of colours. Perfect for babies and little ones (big ones, too!). Each 50g ball retails for $6.95 and has 160 meters. Here is the shade card.

from ROWAN: purelife Organic Cotton Naturally Dyed - a DK weihgt, 100% organic cotton, available in naturally dyed colours. Each 50g ball has 120 meters and retails for $10.95. See shade card.

from Estelle: Cloud Cotton Eco - a 100% organic cotton that knits up to an aran weight. We received it in natural shades, and each 100g skein reteils for $9.25 (150 meters). Check the shade card. This yarn makes a great egological substitute for other popular aran weight cottons such as Mission Falls.
