We know there are lots of ways to be sustainable, but often starting at the source is the most effective way and reducing the resources needed to produce it can make a real difference! 💧🌳
Ecolana


Ecolana is the first yarn we want to highlight. A single-ply fiber that stands out because of its natural composition.
Quite rustic at first sight, but with a warm and fluffy feel. Nature gives the splendid color range: this yarn has no chemical washing nor coloring. The 5 colour variations are the ones of wool in its purity.
🥢: recommended 6mm needles
Melody Vest
Another opportunity is to give a second life to used or old garments, it’s what happens with Recycled yarn and The Tape WAK’s yarns

Kirra Hoodie
Foyer Blanket
Bamboo Yarn


Bamboo yarn uses a very low quantity of water for growth, helping to conserve natural water resources. It also produces more oxygen per square foot than any other forest system, so reducing the impact and benefiting the environment at the same time.
🥢: recommended 3mm needles
Sasa Cardigan
Salè Blanket
The Tape Yarn


🥢: recommended 8mm needles or 7mm crochet hook
Buttercup Tote
