Garthenor Organic

The core philosophy of Garthenor Organic is admirably simple: we have only one planet, and it’s our responsibility to take care of it. Sustainability has been the foundation of Garthenor Organic since day one, and all their yarns are produced under the GOTS certification, with strict attention to environmental and ethical standards.

Garthenor Organic’s yarns are 100% certified organic. The company played an active role in developing the GOTS standard in 2006 and has operated under its guidelines from the very beginning. The certification ensures animal welfare, regulates chemical usage, promotes fair working conditions, and upholds ethical business practices — all to ensure that the final product is as eco-friendly and responsible as possible.

Garthenor Organic closely monitors its carbon emissions, accounting for the full life cycle of its products and offsetting twice the amount they emit. Packaging is another priority: currently, 95% of their packaging materials are recycled, with a clear goal of reaching 100%. Transparency is at the heart of the company’s communication. On Instagram, their regular Transparency Tuesday posts provide insights into the origins of their wool, their production process, and technical details, while answering questions from curious knitters.

Garthenor Organic’s yarns combine authentic softness, rustic texture, and exceptional quality. By using wool from different sheep breeds and a variety of spinning techniques, they create unique yarns suited to a wide range of knitting projects.
