Organic Yarn dyed with plants and healing herbs.

Our own organic yarn dyed naturally with healing herbs has arrived for both hand and machine knitting. The dyes are produced starting with dry herbs prepared and soaked in pure water. The herbs are flowers, roots, leaves and woods. All the herbs used come from controlled cultivations, with no risk of ruining ecological balance. In fact, in many cases the herbs used have helped to encourage the renaissance of local old farming techniques.

Our organic, plant-dyed yarn can be delivered with 4 thicknesses:

·         170mt. on 50 gr. balls (Nm. 3400)

·         115mt. on 50 gr. balls (Nm. 2300)

·         70mt on 50 gr. balls (Nm. 1400)

·         7000mt on 500gr. spools (Nm. 2/28)

and 12 colors plus four 2x2 cross-colors.             

For each color, a detailed description has been made where you can find the properties of the herb and its use during the middle ages.  Click her to download this.  The selection of these products is available at our internet store.
