Scheepjes Organicon: GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton, 50 g

What is Scheepjes Organicon and what makes it different?

Scheepjes Organicon is a 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton yarn in a fingering weight, designed for knitting or crocheting lightweight garments, accessories and baby projects. It is the only yarn in the Scheepjes range that combines GOTS and EN71-3 certification in the same ball, with a palette of 70 colours.

It is part of the Scheepjes yarn collection and is one of the softest and most pleasant-to-touch options in the range, with a lightweight drape that is ideal for garments that need to feel cool while still retaining their shape.

What do the GOTS and EN71-3 certifications guarantee for this cotton yarn?

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification guarantees that the cotton has been grown without chemical fertilisers or pesticides, with full traceability from the field through to the dyeing process. EN71-3 certification confirms that the yarn is safe for contact with the skin and suitable for children's items, including amigurumi and baby toys.

As an eco-friendly yarn, its production process also reduces freshwater consumption: 95% of the wastewater from the process is reused. You can browse the rest of our GOTS-certified organic cotton yarns in our range, ideal for anyone who prioritises responsibly grown fibres.

How should you care for items made with Sheepjes Organicon?

Items made with this cotton yarn can be machine washed on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 40°C, without using bleach or a tumble dryer. They should be dried flat on a horizontal surface to help them retain their shape. By following these care instructions, the yarn will maintain its colour and softness after repeated washing.
