Reduce miles and microplastics – knit using wool.

• Wool is often described as the ultimate sustainable yarn. It grows naturally and can be “harvested” without any harm to the sheep. It can be processed in a way that has a low or zero carbon impact.
• In addition; did you know that sheep consume carbon in the plants they eat and it is “locked” into their wool, so sheep are carbon neutralisers! Amazing huh?
• Once the wool has been manufactured as fabric or knitting yarn it has a long life span and lasts longer than other fibre products.
• Wool needs to be washed very little, and at lower temperatures which also contributes to its sustainability credentials. (Wool, unlike man-made fibres does not shed micro-plastics which are known to contribute to the pollution of the oceans)
• Knitting wool is easily recyclable, by unravelling and reknitting, or by using as a felted textile. Recycled wool accounts for 5% of the worldwide recycled textile market.
• Ideally, if you can buy knitting wool produced locally to you, or in the same county, it will have fewer carbon miles on the clock too.
• Lastly as a natural fibre wool easily biodegrades and does not contribute to microplastic pollution.
