Sent in partnership with Knit Picks

Knit Picks is expanding its sustainability efforts in 2024 but before we look ahead, we'd like to take a moment to look back at our eco yarns we're pretty proud of, our Simply Yarns. With the recent release of our Simply Home Collection, featuring only Simply Eco Yarns, we thought now would be a good time to take a look.

Simply Alpaca

For those seeking a sustainable and luxurious knitting experience, look no further than alpaca fiber. Renowned for its exceptional softness and warmth, alpaca fiber offers a next-to-skin comfort that is simply unmatched. This natural fiber creates a yarn that is ideal for crafting cozy garments and accessories that knit up with ease like our Portree Poncho. It's a choice that is both indulgent and earth-conscious, providing a truly exceptional knitting experience.   The Simply Alpaca yarn's loose ply results in excellent drape for finished projects. This versatility allows it to be worked with various needle sizes to achieve different fabric densities. While it can be used for worsted weight projects, we suggest using a larger Aran/HW gauge. This gauge creates an open, airy fabric, allowing the beautiful fibers to bloom after blocking, resulting in a luxurious project.   The yarn is processed without the use of dyes or bleach. Meticulous fiber sorting results in a diverse range of natural hues.

Simply Wool

Experience the ultimate eco-friendly yarn with 100% Eco-wool. Derived from centuries-old shepherding traditions, this yarn boasts a balanced twist and plump texture that adds exceptional definition to your textured or cabled sweaters and blankets like the Marquam Throw from our new Simply Home Collection. No dyes or bleach are used in the production process. Instead, eight natural shades are meticulously sorted from the raw fiber as it comes from the sheep. While the colors occur naturally, slight variations between skeins are to be expected. Simply Wool is available in Aran and Worsted weight. With names like "Wilhemina" and "Wilbur", the family of Simply Wool yarns is endearing and perfect for those classic projects.

Simply Organic Cotton

Luxurious, super soft, and easy to work, our 100% Organic Simply Cotton Yarns are good for you AND Mother Earth. No dyes or bleach are used to process the yarn, and since the color is naturally occurring, some variation from skein to skein is normal. Perfect for neutral baby gifts, like this sweet + classic Simply Seamless Baby Blanket or everyday household items like Cottage Kitchen Towel. As summer approaches, this yarn should be a top consideration for your project list. Plus, for all you indie dyers, this cotton acts as a wonderful base for your personal color touches!
