With the RED book project, we want to have a global reach, so we decided that the yarn used in this book would be sourced from around the world.
The wool is humanely sourced from sheep, goats, rabbits, yak ox, possums, llama, and silkworms. In this way some other animals also contribute to the book and are in their way represented. The book has always had as its core sustainable practices at all levels
Our focus has also been on animal welfare and how it has been treated throughout its life as far as we can tell and are told by the manufacturers.
All yarn companies that are highlighted in our book care about animal welfare and sustainability, and some of the yarn we have used is organic and we have used the GOTS certification as our guide to being and stating it as organic In the design process the focus has been on the use of soft yarns so it’s a pleasure to knit, so also no artificial fibers, only beautiful colors and a charismatic design.
