Eco-friendly, breathable, and silky. Sustainable alternatives for conscious crafters.
Plant-based yarns offer sustainable alternatives to animal and synthetic fibers. Bamboo, linen, hemp, and other plant fibers are renewable, biodegradable, and often require fewer resources to produce. They're also naturally breathable and perfect for warm-weather projects.
Silky smooth with beautiful drape and subtle sheen. Bamboo grows quickly without pesticides. Note that most bamboo yarn is bamboo viscose—chemically processed bamboo pulp. Great for sensitive skin.
Made from flax fibers, linen is incredibly strong and becomes softer with each wash. Crisp and cool, perfect for summer garments. Can be stiff at first but relaxes beautifully.
One of the most sustainable fibers. Strong, durable, and UV resistant. Similar to linen in its crisp feel. Excellent for bags, home goods, and sturdy garments.
Bamboo-cotton, linen-silk, and other blends combine properties of different fibers. Often easier to work with than pure plant fibers. Look for blends that match your project needs.

Most bamboo and plant fiber yarns are machine washable on gentle. Linen and hemp get softer with each wash. Lay flat to dry to prevent stretching. Check individual yarn labels for specific care.
