The Orry Mill has a focus on stocking natural fibre yarns, ideally that are sustainable. However, yarn for hand crafting is often blended to make it easier to work with, to strengthen or give elasticity. Some yarns still have synthetic acrylic blended with it.
Yarn Fibres fall into three main categories, Animal fibres, Plant Fibres and Synthetic.
Most common animal fibres are sheeps wool the most affordable, also popular are alpaca, cashmere, mohair and silk.
Plant fibres generally mean cotton and linen, however bamboo and hemp are increasing in use.
