My name is Felice, fiber enthusiast and creator of The Knit Apothecary, an independent fiber company specializing in hand-dyed yarn.
Sustainability is one of my core values and drives my decisions about the materials I choose and the products I offer to you. I only use 100% natural fiber, non-superwash yarn bases – the wool is minimally processed and hasn't been treated with harsh chemicals. Minimal processing of wool prevents the structure of the fiber from being altered and preserves its inherent characteristics. Also, it is much better for the environment.
The wool contained within my yarn bases are ethically sourced from cruelty-free farms that do not practice mulesing. Each skein is dyed by hand with GOTS certified dyes that are non-toxic to create vibrant, lightfast and colorfast hues that will compliment any design.
