O-Wool Classic Yarn

O-Wool Classic feels incredibly wholesome without compromising color and style. The long staple length and 4-ply construction give it an excellent stitch definition and prevents stitches from pilling. O-Wool Classic is cozy, easy on the hands and becomes softer with every washing. Classic is currently available in 19 rich colors plus Natural for your knitting and wearing pleasure.

By using O-Wool hand knitting yarns, knitters and crocheters are directly increasing the acreage under organic management and offsetting the negative effects of conventional cotton production, effectively contributing to a truly sustainable environment. On average, for every pound of organic wool produced, two acres of land are sustained under organic management. Each pattern developed using O-Wool has the skein equivalent to acreage so the knitter or crocheter can see how much land is being supported by each garment.

O-Wool Classic is made according to the Organic Trade Association's Fiber Processing standards.
