As a company and as a brand, Scheepjes is continuously looking for ways to innovate and create products that are both enjoyable to use while also being good for the planet. This led them to the creation of their sustainably produced and vegan friendly yarn, Scheepjes Organicon. Made from 100% Soft Organic Cotton, this Fingering weight yarn is part of a global movement towards reducing resource consumption and conscious production methods. Alongside the benefits of organic farming on water quality, land fertility and energy use, organic cotton is an exceptionally soft fibre that is delicate for you and your little one's skin. Being EN71-3 certified, Organicon can be used to knit or crochet garments, accessories, and home décor items that are safe for use by those with sensitive skin, in particular babies and children. Scheepjes Organicon is available in 70 gorgeous shades, ranging from soft pastel colours to bright solid shades and neutrals – these tints make gorgeous colour combinations for a wide range of projects. Recommended needle/hook size is 3.00mm. Each ball weighs 50 grams and holds 170 metres of yarn (Fingering weight).
