Starting today and continuing throughout the summer, Rosie's will be featuring a different yarn each week, highlighting its properties, uses and special features. As an added bonus to you, we will also offer the yarn at 10% off* for the week that it is featured!
Pure Life Cotton, an organic naturally dyed 2-ply cotton, is part of a new line of yarns from Rowan that are certified by BioRe, (part of the Swiss group Remei), an organization that supports social and environmental practices worldwide. It is the perfect way to incorporate environmental and social consciousness into your summer knitting! Rowan Pure Life Cotton comes in 8 colors, each naturally dyed in very subtle beautiful shades.
Rowan has also put out a pattern booklet, the aptly named organic cotton collection, featuring 18 designs by Marie Wallin. I am particularly enamored with Busy Lizzie (at left):
