In a Field of It's Own
Yarn Vibes Organic is 100% organic, 100% Irish.
We use organically grown plants to create our dyes. Each skein of our organic yarn has carefully passed through the hands of our team of talented craftspeople, who bring with them generations of experience and skill, resulting in this uniquely rustic yarn.
Love,
Yarn Vibes
Yarn Vibes Organic has been created by Joan Lucey, a shopkeeper turned organic wool producer from County Cork, who has a passion for supporting rural Ireland and sustainability. On this journey, Joan set about meeting amazing creators, all equally passionate about organic Irish yarn.
Our organic fleece is sourced from Fergal, a 9th generation farmer, who rears sheep on his organic farm in County Kildare. The care and well-being of his flock is of utmost importance to Fergal, and we firmly believe that happy sheep make for a happy knitting experience.
After a gentle wash at Standard Wool, the fleece is sent off to Chris in Donegal Yarns where it is spun by Pauric and his team. What begins in Donegal as raw, cleaned fleece leaves as traditionally spun, rustic yarn ready to be dyed by Jennifer in County Clare.
Jennifer is the only hand-dyer in Ireland who uses organic plants to create beautiful shades through her natural dying process. She harvests all of her water from the plentiful rainfall in the west of Ireland making as little impact as possible on the environment.
Yarn Vibes Organic grew from a desire to support Irish farmers and bolster the Irish wool industry. We are incredibly proud that our knitting yarn is authentically Irish, and the first Irish organic wool in the world. What started as a small concept has now become a supportive community working towards a more fair and sustainable future, one strand at a time.
