Welcome to EcoKnits, home of ethical, organic, fair-trade knitting!

You'll find scrumptious offerings from the big-name suppliers such as Artesano and Mirasol, as well as beautifully crafted wooden needles and hand-made notions.

One of our main objectives, however, is to sell as much British  sourced yarn as possible.  We love British yarn, and things made by British businesses.  If possible, we'd sell nothing but British stuff, but that would preclude Merino and some days, nothing but Merino will do... However, we have superwash Merino hand-dyed in beautiful Worcestershire, the softest British Bluefaced Leicester naturally hand-dyed in Suffolk, and the finest Yorkshire Wensleydale for your knitting delectation.  It's going to be so hard to part with this stuff.   Keep your eyes peeled for the little , and Buy British wherever you can.  Most of our knitting notions are hand made in Britain too.

All parcels will be sent recorded delivery in either blue plastic pouches, or recycled cardboard tubes.  I can't find an eco-friendly version of those almost indestructible pouches that will keep your yarn safe and dry, but I'm still looking. Little orders will be sent in second-hand padded envelopes, unless you request otherwise.  We like to reduce/reuse/recycle where ever possible.

If you're a producer of quality, ethical, organic or fair trade crafting items, and think what you've got fits in with our ethic, then please get in touch
