Your Sustainable Knitting Journey Begins Here
Imagine working with yarn that feels as good in your hands as it does for the planet. That’s the experience BC Garn Bio Balance offers – a premium organic cotton blend designed for crafters who value both quality and sustainability.
Eco-Conscious Crafting Without Compromise
This isn’t just another cotton yarn. Bio Balance combines 50% organic cotton with 50% modal from beech trees, creating a fiber that’s:
- Breathable: Ideal for warm-weather garments that keep you cool
- Durable: Maintains shape wash after wash
- Soft: Gentle enough for baby items yet sturdy for home decor
For best results, swatch with 3.5mm needles aiming for 22 stitches/10cm. The slight stretch in the modal content means your finished items will have beautiful drape.
