One on her list was Ecobutterfly, an online shop dedicated to crafting and the environment. Among the recycled glass beads, Ecobutterfly also offers a wonderful array of organic yarns.

Inspired by her Grandmother, Stephanie, the owner of Ecobutterfly, has pursued knitting and yarn with en eye to the environment. Ecobutterfly stocks yarns that are not only organic but also fair trade. She offers Peruvian Flamme Cotton Yarn, Eco-Rainbow Lace Organic Cotton Yarn, Fine Hemp Yarn, Kusikuy Organic Cotton Yarn (more on them later), Monarch Organic Cotton Yarn and Pakucho Organic Cotton Yarn. This shop is an eco-yarn lovers dream!

All the yarns are vegan, plant based organic and either come in their natural color or dyed using vegetable dyes or low impact dyes. The stock also represents a wide range of weights from chunky to lace weight; offering something for every knitter.
