In 2016 we developed our own line of custom spun, eco-friendly, organic, washable wool yarns - PureWash yarns. As a business our focus is on organic, natural fibres, sustainable dye methods and a desire to make better choices for the environment. TFA PureWash yarns are made from the softest organic merino which has been gently treated with a GOTS certified process to allow the fibers to be non-felting. Spun to our custom specifications by a local-to-us company and then dyed lovingly by us at TFA. Truly a labour of love!
