Why Natural Fiber Yarn?
We support socially and environmentally responsible companies, indie yarn dyers, and individuals, prioritizing fair wages, education opportunities, and traditional fiber heritage. Brands like Malabrigo Yarn, Manos del Uruguay, Amano Yarns, and Rosa Pomar uphold these values.
Making something with your hands takes time, and using tools that make each stitch comfortable, colorful, and enjoyable is just as important as the yarn you choose.

Kelbourne Woolens Skipper is a sport weight yarn made from 100% un-mercerized Tanguis cotton from Peru. Tanguis cotton has long staple fibers, which give Skipper a smoother texture and better resistance to pilling than standard cotton, so your projects stay soft and neat through plenty of wear and washing. An easy choice for washable garments, accessories and toys!
At the shop, see Skipper knit up in our sample of the Veggie Patch Cardigan by Lisa Chemery, or Sara’s new stripey shawl pattern written for San Diego Yarn Crawl 2026, the Seabream Shawl. Skipper is just one of many Kelbourne Woolens yarns that we carry. For more cotton yarns, browse our 100% Cotton Yarn Collection.
