Get to know Yarn Citizen

For this crochet pattern, I chose Yarn Citizen Unity Worsted and Yarn Citizen Trinity Cashmere. You might remember the Yarn Citizen line from the Oloosa Shawl! Yarn Citizen is focused on creating yarn that is good for the planet. Its focus is to remain a sustainable and affordable yarn for all makers. The line includes non-superwash yarns to reduce water usage and yarn leftovers that would otherwise find their way into landfills.

At the end of today, Yarn Citizen is motivated to prove to the world that sustainability and affordability can go hand in hand.

Yarn Citizen is available in three offerings, Harmony, Trinity & Unity
