Scheepjes - Organicon
a pure cotton yarn, it is made of pure organic cotton and is certified according to EN71-3. So it is an ideal yarn for clothing, accessories and even baby toys. With a color palette of 70 colors, no color wish is left unfulfilled. From pastels to bold and bright, there is something for everyone.
As a company and brand, Scheepjes is constantly looking for new ways to make good and beautiful products that are also environmentally friendly. This is how Scheepjes Organicon, a vegan and sustainably produced yarn made from 100% organic cotton, was born. More and more companies are opting for sustainable production methods. This brings several advantages. For example, organic farming has a positive effect on water quality, soil fertility and energy consumption, and the fibers of organic cotton are wonderfully soft. Organicon has the EN 71-3 seal of approval, which means that the yarn is also suitable for people with sensitive skin, including babies and young children. Scheepjes Organicon is available in 70 beautiful colors, from bright and fresh pastel shades to vibrant solids and neutral tones, all of which combine beautifully. The recommended needle size is 3.00mm. One ball of Scheepjes Organicon weighs 50 grams and has a run length of 170 meters (yarn weight fingering).
What makes Scheepjes Organicon environmentally friendly and sustainable?
Scheepjes Organicon is GOTS certified and therefore meets the strict requirements for the production and processing of organic clothing and textiles. This means that the cotton cultivation is demonstrably organic and sustainable and no artificial fertilizers are used. In this way, the fertility of the soil can be permanently guaranteed. The dyes are also GOTS certified and received the highest sustainability score for textile production. In addition, Scheepjes Organicon's production uses a fully biological wastewater treatment system so that the water used can be safely recycled and reused. Finally, and at least as importantly, Organicon is a vegan yarn. No animal (by-)products are used in the production process. The same goes for the dyes used in this yarn. In short, Scheepje's Organicon is an excellent alternative for all environmentally conscious creatives.
