OUR YARNS
How do you create your Superwash wool?
The superwash wool used in Spud & Chloë yarns is created with a polymer method. Polymer coats the natural fibers to prevent the cuticles from coming into contact with eachother.
How should I care for your yarn?
For Blue Sky Fibers we recommend hand washing in tepid water using a mild soap. Do not agitate or twist. Shape and dry flat on a towel. Spud and Chloë is machine washable. For best results wash gentle in cool water with mild soap. Tumble dry low until damp. Block to shape.
ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS
How are your animals treated?
We work with alpaca and sheep herders in South America. The animals are raised and cared for as they have been for centuries. At shearing time the alpacas are herded and sheared, and then returned to graze again. The fiber is processed at central mills. There is no factory farming or cruelty involved.
Is your cotton organic?
We’re proud to say that all of our cotton is GOTS certified organic. This makes a great deal of difference to the environment,. Learn more about why organic cotton matters so much in this blog post.
What type of chemicals are used when dying your yarn?
Our yarn is dyed in large batches using low-impact dyes. These dyes are not organic but are formulated to have a lower impact on the environment than traditional chemical dyes.
