Episode 080: Cotton

In this episode, Anne takes a deep dive into cotton: the history, quirks, and care! Plus, news of a NY/PA yarn crawl, a New Years themed yarn box, and more. 

Links to Things Mentioned in the Episode

FairTrade.net maintains a list of cotton growers and processors that adhere to their fair trade standards.
Katia Fair Cotton has been certified as fair trade by the ICEA.

Fair Trade cottons not mentioned in the episode:

Quince&Co’s organic cotton comes from a collection of organic cotton farms in California and all the processing from plant to yarn happens in the United States, so while not certified, it is processed under worker protection laws.
Also, Bare Naked Wool’s Pakucho cotton is certified organic and fair trade.

*Special thanks to Linda at Knit New Haven and Rachel at Ewe and You for their help identifying more Fair Trade yarns than google would guide me to!

A store is coming to the I Thought I Knew How website, and the first item to go up for sale will be the Shetland Hogmanay yarn box! Watch the website for details on the presale coming in May!
