← BACK TO THE STUDIOABOUT OUR 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.
Our bare yarns come from a mill that supplies OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Class I certified yarn.
STANDARD 100 tests certified textiles for harmful substances. Class I has the strictest requirements and limit values, developed for products for babies and young children.
These sourcing choices put fiber safety at the heart of our work, alongside our wider commitment to responsible production.
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.

GOTS is recognized worldwide for its environmental and social criteria, with responsible and traceable practices throughout certified processing. These include:
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.
