The yarn That Grows on Trees - Literally
Looking for yarn that's gorgeous, gloriously soft, and actually kind to the planet? Look no further! This is not your average ball of yarn. This is a silky-smooth, shimmering strand of eco-friendly brilliance made from sustainably grown eucalyptus trees - yes, really. It's a fibre that's been spun straight from the heart of responsibly managed European forests and turned into a breathable, biodegradable wonder yarn that behaves beautifully on your needles or hook. Whether you're knitting, crocheting, weaving, or crafting something completely off the wall, this yarn glides through your fingers like liquid gold and leaves you wondering why you ever used anything else.
It's soft. Like, really soft. Almost sinfully so. The kind of soft that makes you stop mid-row and hold it to your cheek just because you can. But don't be fooled - behind that silky exterior is a yarn with gumption. It's strong, smooth, and ever-so-slightly glossy, giving your finished makes a subtle sheen that adds a little pop without shouting about it. Perfect for wearable projects, home accessories, or any crafty masterpiece where drape and texture matter just as much as colour.
And did we mention the sustainability credentials? This yarn is made from 100% eucalyptus-based Lyocell - a next-generation fibre derived from wood pulp using a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents again and again, creating minimal waste and keeping things squeaky clean. It's entirely plant-based and completely plastic-free, which means it's not just biodegradable - it's the kind of eco-conscious fibre that's made with end-of-life in mind. How many craft supplies can say that!
Each colour sings with depth and richness that brings your designs to life. But this isn't just about one colour - this range offers an entire palette of plant-based perfection. And because it's made from eucalyptus, it grows with less water, without pesticides, and without wrecking the soil. It's clever, considered, and downright delightful.
Cut from the Same Cloth

So bringing in a range of eco-friendly cotton yarns and fibres for creative, hands-on making felt like a natural next step. Just like our wool-based products, this yarn is all about working with what we've already got and turning it into something brilliant. It's the same ethos that runs through everything we do: thoughtful materials, low-impact living, and a big dollop of good old-fashioned creativity. Whether you're plugging your chimney, feeding your soil, or knotting up a plant hanger, it's all part of the same mission to live a bit more simply and make things that matter.
