Organics & Baby

Ecobutterfly's goal is to be able to offer the finest certified color grown organic cotton yarn available on the market today. Pakucho fits that bill and then some. There are other companies that sell organic cotton yarn, BUT it is not always certified organic cotton yarn, definitely not fair trade and they use conventionally dyed colors. If you question any of these things always ask the company for the details. Based on these important points, Pakucho is the perfect choice (to read more on "fair trade" see the organic cotton yarns page).

As far as Organic Wool is concerned, we question just how organic it is, especially when it is not certified. The U.S. government has certified organic standards in place when it comes to animals (what they eat, how they live, how they are treated and how they die). If one of these things is not strictly met, the wool that comes from these animals could be a problem and therefore not organic. This does not take into account the probable non~organic scouring process either. For example, if a sheep eats grass that has been exposed to toxic ground water, then that toxic residue ends up in the wool that is sheared to use in the making of yarn. Wool can be a very difficult thing when dealing with the term "organic". Certified organic is very important for that reason alone. You need to ask questions, especially when wool is marketed organic, but not certified. If an organic wool seller is not willing to tell you everything you want to know then run the opposite direction.

For babies, wool is an irritating proposition anyway and the safe choice will always be in the purity of very soft organic cotton yarn. Even though organic cotton yarn is lacking in bright colors (unless it is dyed with conventional chemical methods), the wide range of earthy colors from Natural, Dark Chocolate to Deep Green and the soft veggie dyed colors available are well worth the trade-off to keep the general purity in tact. Making a baby blanket out of pure organic cotton yarn is a real show of love and it will be appreciated and treated as an heirloom, cherished by being handed down from one generation to the next. And, if by some extreme chance a baby that grows into a child refuses to let it go, even when it looks like it needs to be permanently retired, the planet will not mind its eventual return to the earth.
