“What was missing was the ability of hand knitters to make their own beautiful organic wool products, and in a wide range of colors. With “O~Wool Classic” yarn, hand knitters can enjoy using organic wool yarn with the knowledge they are supporting organic production and processing both in the U.S. and around the world.”
To enable the nation's 53 million knitters to make the most beautiful items, “O~Wool Classic” yarn is available in thirteen rich colors perfect for all seasons, including cornflower, plum, sumac and willow.
The nature of the yarn gives it excellent stitch definition and the long staple length prevents pilling. The wool is processed in accordance with the Organic Trade Association's Organic Fiber Processing Standards.
In addition to hand knitting yarn, VTOF currently supplies commercial yarn and fabrics to manufacturers from North America to Europe and Asia, including Ecobaby (San Diego), Fox River Mills (Osage), IBEX (Woodstock), Jasco Fabrics (White Plains), Maggie's Organics (Ypsilanti), and Patagonia (Ventura).
This year's organic wool marketplace includes blankets, diapers and diaper covers, gloves, socks and sweaters manufactured from O~Wool organic wool.
On September 9, 2006, “O~Wool by Jasco” organic wool fabrics donated by VTOF will be highlighted at the Academy of Art University fashion show as part of Olympus Fashion Week in New York City.
