Urth Yarns is a family owned yarn company, whose yarns are dyed and prepared by skilled hands of women at their studios in Mersin and Istanbul. Aside from the velvety softness of the naturally dyed skeins, we love the whimsical variegated colorways.  We also love that we are supporting the Earth as Urth Yarns plants a tree in Africa for every skein sold.

We put what we believe in right out there for all to see. We had Work + Shelter make these bags for us because they employ impoverished women in New Delhi, India providing them with jobs. We believe in doing good with the resources you entrust to us.

The Refinery in Bainbridge, Georgia hand pours soy candles made by the ladies of Still Waters, a safe space for women and their children in south Georgia. Their message: "We are imperfect, slightly rough around the edges but full of potential!" Their goal is to create something beautiful from regional and recycled resources; to invest in the potential of our ladies and to be an ever-present light in our community. We absolutely love our custom scent, a little citrusy, a little woodsy = Blanket, not too sweet, just enough to make the room feel warm and cozy.

Now non-superwash, single-ply Rustic Fingering is made with 100% Merino wool, and has enough yardage for many shawlette and accessory patterns. Since it is not superwash, this new Rustic Fingering feels a bit softer, and is easier to block into shape (especially with lace). It also takes dye a little differently than our superwash bases; some tonal colors and speckles appear softer and slightly less variegated.

100% Merino, 475 yards

Manos del Uruguay is a cooperative founded in 1968, begun by five women whose goal was to develop economic opportunities for women in a country where there were, & are still, few opportunities for work. The Manos Cooperatives provide health insurance, retirement pensions, paid vacations & paid maternity leave for their members. Moreover, members enjoy a sense of achievement and of self-determination – the first kindergartens in Uruguay were begun by the Manos Cooperative, to provide childcare for the artisans. In addition to creating yarns for handcrafters, the Manos Cooperatives have continued to produce ready-to-wear pieces for designers and department stores such as Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Nordstrom’s, & Sak’s. We love this easy-care yarn for its deep hand-painted hues
