Celebrate Cotton Yarn: Sustainable Crafting with Woolyknit
In the world of sustainable crafting, cotton yarn is having a well-deserved spotlight. Soft, breathable, and earth-friendly. Fibres such as cotton and linen are the perfect choice for those looking to knit or crochet with vegan, summer-friendly materials. At Woolyknit, we’re proud to offer a range of plant-based yarns, including a cotton and a linen cotton blend. For the month of May, we’re honouring these natural fibres through our collaboration with @YoungFolk.Knits in the Knit with Nature KAL.
Why Cotton?
Made from natural plant fibres, cotton yarn offers a beautiful blend of smooth texture, breathable comfort, and a lightweight drape. It’s completely vegan, making it an excellent choice for those avoiding animal-based fibres. It’s especially suited for warm-weather projects such as babywear, lightweight tops, dishcloths, and summer throws.
Perfect for sensitive skin and sustainable crafting, natural fibres is a conscious choice for makers who want to do good while creating beautiful pieces.
Explore Woolyknit’s Plant-based Ranges
At Woolyknit, we offer two plant-based yarn options that combine sustainability with style:
- Linen cotton blend yarn: This yarn brings together the crisp structure of linen and the soft comfort of cotton. The result is a breathable, textured yarn that’s perfect for garments, accessories, and home décor. It softens with every wash and offers a natural, rustic elegance.
- 100% cotton 4ply yarn: This is a classic cotton yarn at its best—lightweight, durable, and silky smooth. With excellent stitch definition and a soft feel, it’s ideal for baby clothes, summer tops, accessories, and more. Available in both vibrant and pastel shades, it’s cotton done right.
Whether you’re opting for a natural, minimalist aesthetic or bold colorwork, our plant-based yarns are crafted to meet your vision.
Knit With Nature – A Collaboration with @YoungFolk.Knits focused on our cotton yarn
We’re thrilled to be joining forces with @YoungFolk.Knits for our Knit With Nature KAL, a creative community project designed to celebrate plant-based yarn. This initiative invites knitters and crocheters to pick up their needles and craft something meaningful using sustainable yarns.
Whether you choose our linen cotton blend or 100% cotton 4ply yarn, the goal is simple: craft with intention, embrace natural fibres, and share your story. From summery tanks to simple washcloths, every project is a chance to connect with nature and community.
Participants can post their makes using #KnitWithNatureKAL, and we’ll be showcasing highlights on our socials and website. It’s a joyful celebration of slow fashion, sustainability, and creativity.
