Oragnic Cotton Bath Accessories

I've had a strong following of folks asking for organic bath accessories, both online and locally. I've been playing with two organic cotton yarns, one that is grown in the natural shades, and one that is grown, spun and dyed according to the Global Organic Textile Standard.

I LOVE the feel of the dyed yarn. The yarn is thicker, fluffier, and so soft. Actually, both are soft but this one wins hands down in my heart. It is a larger ply than I am used to working with, but the bath puff worked up so nicely. This yarn would be fabulous to make into baby washcloths because it is so soft!

The natural shade yarn is a smaller ply than the standard cotton yarn I typically work with. But I love how it feels and it behaves so well!

Sunday Afternoon Project

I have been playing with some new yarn today. This is Lion Brand Organic Cotton yarn. Quite a bit pricier than the cotton yarn I typically use. What is nice about this yarn is that it is free of pesticides, herbicides and other agri-chemicals that are used to grow or color yarn. All of the harvesting and sorting is done by hand and it has been grown in the natural shades. Impressive that this yarn gave consistent results throughout the project with the benefit of being extremely soft and dreamy to work with. I'm hooked! (no pun intended)

GREEN Mountains...

For far too many days/weeks/months we have been seeing an awful lot of white and not very much GREEN in our landscape. Today is such a bright, beautiful day. I was glad my job took me on the road for the day so I could enjoy this wonderful SUNSHINE today! When I returned home, my younger daughter needed me to take photos for her upcoming tech project presentation. We headed up Randolph Center to Neighborly Farms, an organic farmstead cheese operation owned and operated by very dear and close friends of ours. I was walking around looking at all of the new calves that have been born, and stopped in my tracks when I noticed something that got me all excited...

WOO HOOO!!!! Is that, yes, it looks to me like it is.....GREEEEEEEN!!!! I'm afraid in all of my excitement that the photo might not be as clear as it could have been, but I didn't care!
