Some History And The Benefits Of Undyed Yarn

By Essie Osborn


Long ago, people had limitations with what products were sold. Very often, they produced most of their food, and those who had sheep used the wool to turn it into yarn. They used it in many ways, to stay warm as they didn't have the luxuries of central heating systems. This virgin wool was, as undyed yarn, used in many applications.

Those who used it began to color it with dyes. They used natural color they got from vegetables mostly and created unique colors to make various accessories and clothes. Of course, as each batch was hand prepared, and with produce that was available, this dyed wool was always unique.

For a time, such organic applications almost ceased to exist, except in rural areas or some who wanted to complete such a small project. People simply relied on already colored yarn that they could transform into a beautiful garment, scarf, hat, or other accessory. Eventually, the art of knitting was also replaced by machines in the industrial age.

Today, with people reaching back to their roots, and recognizing the beauty of all things natural, they are embracing the old ways whenever they can. They choose raw yarn because they know it's organic and without toxic chemicals. Once it's in their possession, they simply create their own natural dye to color it to the desired shade.

Like this they have an entirely organic product and avoid harmful chemicals from coming in touch with their skin. What's interesting is that it's completely unique, which makes it that much more treasured. After it's dyed, it is knitted into something spectacular, according to the desire and need of the individual.

Just imagine creating something so special that would be as unique as anything, and knowing no one else in the world has the same item. Such practices have also become profitable businesses with many preparing the item from start to finish. Sometimes, they can be custom-made, and other times, simply produced and put up for sale.

Whatever the case, it is a trend that's catching on all over the world. People understand beauty and relate to it, and at the same time, they understand value. While they'll have to pay more for a handmade and hand dyed sweater than buying one massed produced, they will cherish the former. Not only will it look fabulous, but it will last longer than most goods sold at chain stores.

It's safe to say that handmade items like these are beautiful and provide numerous opportunities for mixing and matching with existing wardrobe pieces. They are suitable to both men and women, as well as children, as everyone wants good quality stylish clothes and accessories that keep them warm and looking great. Knitting all-natural goods is a wonderful skill that can be used on a personal or business level.
