Olann's yarns come from little farms in South America that guarantee fair and humane treatment to their herds of sheep. They pre-wash their yarns to remove lanolin and any dust that may have been caught during the spinning stage. When the undyed hanks are delivered they are stored carefully, in dry conditions and away from light. Olann only dyes in small batches - this ensures each skein gets the full care and attention it deserves. They use non-toxic acid dyes and a food grade citric acid as the setting agent. All the dye is exhausted from the dye pots so that there is zero nasty stuff being poured into the drains. Citric acid also loses its potency as it helps the dye absorb into the fibres.
Rest assured, Olann is environmentally friendly. Water is often re-used to also minimize water usage and wastage. After the dye process is completed, the freshly dyed yarn takes a long nice soak in gentle wool wash to ensure all that citric acid water is scrupulously rinsed from the yarn. The yarn is now super clean and super soft and is ready for your crafty hands.
