About Pebbles

Welcome to Oh my Pebbles!

Yes, this is Pebbles, my favourite Border Leicester sheep and quite possibly the sweetest in the world (yes, she also knows it). 

Her beautiful wool and that of her merino friends inspired Oh my Pebbles and our love for knitting and craftsmanship. For the past three years, we carefully saved our merino wool clop with one dreamL to spin it professionally into yarn on cones. And we did, and more on this project please visit our farm The Knitted Forest. 

Oh my Pebbles yarn is made of postconsumer textile waste with a guaranteed minimal content of 65% pure wool (Woolly) or 65% pure cotton (CottonUp) or 80% denim cotton (Jeanius). The yarn is made from old clothing collected in textile collection containers. We find it difficult to understand why so many perfectly wearable items are thrown away so easily, when they could have a second life in your creative hands.

  • Textile landfill is our resource, sorted by colour and shredded into pulp. The pulp becomes roving of which a new yarn thread is spun.
  • The yarn is GRS certified, which means that the input, processes and social working conditions are controlled.
  • No chemicals are used as no dye has been needed as the textile waste is sorted and shredded by colour.
  • Hardly any water is used in this process.
  • Part of the electricity is generated by solar panels.

Crafting your own product, either by knitting, crochet or sewing; it just makes you appreciate your clothes so much more. How great to do this with 100% recycled yarn from textile waste! Read our blog post to learn more.

We love to offer you knitting and crochet yarn in many lovely colours and a remarkable soft quality. We have recycled yarn with a high content of wool, but also give you the option to buy recycled cotton variants. The amount of cotton waste is even higher and perfect yarn for finer pieces or baby clothes as it wears so soft against your skin.

Why would we use new resources when we can re-use? If you care about our planet and yourself you have a choice now to buy yarns with positive impact!
