A very welcome addition to the sphere of sustainable fibers, Blonde Chicken Boutique launched this year with the purpose of supplying ethically sourced, made-to-order handpainted yarns to fiber buffs. The Dayton, OH-based “handpainted, organic, luxury” store is “committed to seeking out fair trade, organic and sustainable [yarns] and fibers to share with our customers.” Better yet is its desire to “offer not only yarns and fibers, but also education about making eco-friendly decisions in your fiber arts.”
Currently, Blonde Chicken has a soysilk yarn in three handpainted colorways for online gawking: Lilac, Verdant, and Hydrangea. Piqued your interest? Sign up for the mailing list to receive updates on new products.
(I’ve added a list of specialty sustainable yarn stores to the Greensleeves index, as well. Give me a holler if I’ve left out your favorite store.)
