BC Garn natural yarns in linen, cotton and silk

BC Garn natural yarns, many with GOTS certification

BC Garn focuses on yarns made from natural fibers. Many yarns are certified to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), and according to the manufacturer the wool is mulesing-free. Whether a yarn carries the label is stated with each product. The selection covers summer and winter projects alike.

Which BC Garn fiber suits your design

Linen is cool, durable and slightly lustrous and gets softer with every wash – a good match for summer tops and shawls. Cotton is smooth and easy care and suits baby items, tees and accessories. Silk blends have a fluid drape and a subtle sheen, while wool and wool blends are warm and stretchy enough for sweaters, cardigans and hats. The colors are subtle and harmonize well, so several yarns combine easily. The GOTS label sets requirements for organic fiber farming and for environmental and social standards in processing.

• Linen for summer tops and shawls
• Cotton for baby items and tees
• Silk blends for fine shawls
• Wool and wool blends for sweaters and cardigans

Tip: Knitted linen looks stiff and a little uneven at first. Wash the finished piece and let it dry flat – afterward it drapes more softly and the stitches even out.
