Our Organic Yarns
Nature's Choice Organic Cotton and Lion Organic Cotton

Lion Organic Cotton

Discover the wonders of our naturally beautiful yarns, Nature's Choice and Lion Organic Cotton, perfect for baby, fashion, and home items.

Lion Organic Cotton (pictured at the left) is grown in four naturally occurring shades (no dyes are used to create the colors). Nature's Choice is a soft, versatile worsted-weight yarn that comes in seven shades dyed using certified organic dyes. Both are grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides and other agro-chemicals.

These soft, versatile yarns are also easy to work with and to care for. They're good for your knitting and crocheting -- and for the environment.

Charity Feature
Project Linus

Each month, we feature an organization using yarncrafts to help people. This month, we highlight Project Linus, an organization that makes security blankets for children in hospitals, shelters, social security agencies, and more.

The organization has chapters in every state, and "blanketeers" work to serve their local communities, making and distributing blankets. In addition, Project Linus, headquartered in Bloomington, IL, donates over 350 blankets a month to local charities through its Central Illinois chapter.

On the Lion Brand Charity Connection, there are almost 150 chapters of Project Linus that have registered. (Click here to search for your local chapter.) We also have many stories in our customer gallery and our charity stories collection about Project Linus.
