Certification separates substance from marketing in this corner of the shop, and several bases here carry the Global Organic Textile Standard, known as GOTS, which audits everything from farming through to dyeing. Cotton leads the way, including Suave from Pascuali and a soft Danish spun option from Onion, alongside blends pairing organic cotton with alpaca. Wool appears too, most visibly in Japanese spinner Noro's Haunui, drawn from New Zealand flocks and dyed in long colour changes. These yarns suit anyone knitting for babies or sensitive skin, where keeping harsh processing chemicals out of the fibre counts.
