BC Garn Big Bio Balance GOTS

Big Bio Balance is a beautiful, soft wool and cotton yarn. It’s a slightly heavier weight version of the original Bio Balance yarn.

Deliciously soft, the combination of fibres results in a yarn that is appropriate for all seasons of knitting. Lovely for garments, baby & children knits & accessories.

The yarn is GOTS-certified and 100% organic. The colours are beautifully heathered due to the way wool and cotton absorb dye differently. The blend of 55% organic wool and 45% organic cotton is durable and easy to care for.The manufacturer recommends hand washing this yarn. However, I’ve been told by the supplier that they have conducted their own tests by machine washing this yarn and achieved fantastic results so they say it can be washed on a cold, gentle cycle at 30 degrees without any issues.

The wool used comes from mulesing-free farms in South America. The cotton is grown in Turkey, where the yarn is also spun.
