It is the perfect yarn for quick and cozy wearables and accessories. You’ll love how easy projects are to care for being a machine washable wool and dryable. What is GOTS certified? GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, and it’s an organization with strict environmental and social criteria to ensured a product is made entirely from certified organic fibers from start to finish such as where it is sourced from, how it is processed including no harmful chemicals plus fair working conditions and treatment of workers and how it is traded.
