Knitting Green

The sentiment, "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something," is particularly true for matters of conserving the enviornment. But what can knitters do? It's only yarn, afterall. Actually, the number one best thing knitters can do for the environment is to use green yarns. These are yarns that are made of natural fibers and are processed in ways that have a minimal impact on the environment.

We at OTBP believe strongly in helping the environment in every way that we can and in reducing our footprint. As such, we specialize in in yarns made from natural fibers like alpaca, bamboo, cotton, corn, linen, rayon, silk, soy, wool and blends thereof. We encourage you to choose a natural fiber for your next knitting project!

Southwest Trading Company's yarns are particularly green because they make yarns of natural materials, such as corn, milk, bamboo, and SOYSILK®.
