Scheepjes Organicon - the 100% organic cotton skein

Scheepjes constantly seeks to innovate and create products that are enjoyable to use and, at the same time, beneficial to the planet. This led to the creation of Scheepjes Organicon yarn, produced sustainably and vegan. Made with 100% soft organic cotton , this fingering-weight yarn is part of a global movement towards reduced resource consumption and conscious production methods.

In addition to the benefits of organic farming for water quality, soil fertility, and energy use, organic cotton is an exceptionally soft and gentle fiber for your skin and your baby's. EN71-3 certified, Organicon can be used for knitting or crocheting clothing, accessories, and home décor items, and is safe for people with sensitive skin, especially babies and children. Scheepjes Organicon is available in 70 beautiful colors , ranging from soft pastel shades to vibrant and neutral solid colors – these shades create incredible color combinations for a wide range of projects.

What makes Scheepjes Organicon yarn environmentally conscious and sustainable?

Scheepjes Organicon yarns are GOTS certified, guaranteeing through traceability that the cotton was grown in organically certified fields, without the use of chemical fertilizers, cultivated sustainably, and in a way that ensures the continuous fertility of the soil. The dyes used are also GOTS certified and represent the highest possible sustainability index for textile manufacturing.
Organicon also displays Scheepjes' new Recycled Water logo, meaning that during the yarn production process, wastewater from its manufacture is safely recycled and reused. And last but not least, Organicon is also a vegan yarn . A vegan yarn is one that contains no animal products or byproducts. From the dyes used to color this yarn to its 100% plant-based fiber, Scheepjes Organicon respects animal welfare and offers a high-quality alternative for all conscious crafters.
