🌿 Our Commitment to Sustainable, Ethical Yarn
At Knot & Bones, we believe that beauty and integrity belong together. Every skein we dye begins with carefully sourced fibers chosen not only for their exceptional softness and quality, but also for the respect shown to the animals, people, and environments that produce them.
Certified Safe & Responsible Fibers
Ethical & Humane Wool Sourcing
Our bare yarns come from a mill that is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I certified.
This certification ensures that every fiber has been rigorously tested and verified to be free from harmful substances. Class I is the highest level of certification—meaning our yarns are safe for even the most sensitive skin, including that of babies.
This standard also guarantees that the production process meets high environmental and human safety standards, from start to finish.
All of the wool our suppliers use is 100% mulesing-free.
We believe that the animals who provide these beautiful fibers deserve care and compassion. Our suppliers share this philosophy, upholding ethical treatment and humane living conditions for their flocks.
By choosing mulesing-free wool, we honor the animals behind our craft and ensure that kindness is woven into every strand.
Certified Organic Options
Recycled Nylon, Not Virgin Plastic
Our organic yarn bases go beyond basic sustainability—they carry both Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and OEKO-TEX® certifications.
GOTS is recognized worldwide for its strict environmental and social criteria. It ensures that every step of production, from farm to finished fiber, follows responsible and traceable practices. This includes:
Protection of soil health and local ecosystems
Ethical treatment of animals and farmers
Prohibition of toxic chemicals in processing
Fair labor and safe working conditions
Each organic skein reflects a deeper commitment to sustainability, transparency, and quality.
When a yarn blend requires the strength and durability of a synthetic component, our supplier uses only recycled nylon—never virgin synthetics.
Recycled nylon reduces waste, conserves resources, and supports a circular textile economy without compromising on performance. This allows us to create durable yarns that remain soft, strong, and environmentally mindful.
Sustainability in Every Stitch
By choosing Knot & Bones yarn, you’re supporting a mindful approach to making, one that values craftsmanship, transparency, and respect for the natural world.
From the farms that raise our fiber to the final skein in your hands, every step is guided by our belief that sustainable making should feel as good as it looks.
