I've been thinking about an organic sock yarn for a decade. Popular contemporary sock yarns are superwash wool blended with nylon. As an organic yarn company, I don't want to use synthetic fibers like nylon, and O-Wool focuses on merino which can be too soft for the durability socks require. And then I came across Garthenor Organic's Snowdonia Sock. These folks engineered the construction and fiber content of this yarn to make the perfect organic wool sock yarn. No superwash. No nylon. Just a gorgeous blend of Romney and Hebridean with the perfect twist for a hardy, long-wearing sock.
Garthenor Organic is a family-run, independent yarn manufacturer based in Wales. Sustainability has always been the core of what they do. From GOTS certification to climate positive wool, their newest pledge is to plant one tree for every single skein of yarn they sell.
