Plant Based Yarns FAQs
Are plant-based yarns durable?
Absolutely! Depending on the fibre, like bamboo or hemp, plant-based yarns can be surprisingly durable. They’re strong enough for everyday wear and perfect for projects that need a longer lifespan.
Our collection includes sturdy options like Venne’s organic cotton and linen yarns or Maurice Brassard’s cotton weaving yarn and hemp blends, which are known for their hardiness.
Can plant-based yarns be used for any type of project?
Yes, plant-based yarns are incredibly versatile. Whether you’re knitting, crocheting, or weaving, there’s a vegan yarn that fits your project.
From Tencel as a silk alternative to create garments with sheen and drape, to tough hemp for more durable items, you’ll find the perfect match in our eco-friendly range.
Are plant-based yarns soft and comfortable to wear?
Definitely. Clothing items made of plant-based yarns are a joy to wear. Yarns like bamboo are celebrated for their silky texture, while organic cotton offers a gentle, breathable quality.
How do I care for items made with plant-based yarns?
Taking care of your plant-based yarn creations is easy. Most can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle and air-dried to keep them looking their best.
Always check the care instructions on the yarn label—bamboo and Tencel may need a bit more TLC, while hemp can handle a bit more robust washing.
Are plant-based yarns hypoallergenic?
Yes, many plant-based yarns are hypoallergenic, making them a great choice for sensitive skin.
Organic cotton and bamboo, for example, are naturally free from chemical irritants, making them perfect for crafting items for babies or those with allergies.
