Some History And The Benefits Of Undyed Yarn

By Essie Osborn


Long ago, people had limitations with what products were sold. Very often, they produced most of their food, and those who had sheep used the wool to turn it into yarn. They used it in many ways, to stay warm as they didn't have the luxuries of central heating systems. This virgin wool was, as undyed yarn, used in many applications.

Over time, they realized that they could make their items more unique, by dying the raw yarn. They made dyes from produce and vegetables to add beautiful color to their blankets and sweaters. Since the dyes were made by hand, and from vegetables, they were always unique and organic.

This art became virtually extinct in big cities, as people turned to mass-produced goods. Thankfully, it remained a normal part of life in rural areas around the world. From generation to generation the practice was passed down, and some embraced it for use in their personal projects.

More and more people today want to reach back to the old ways and the way natural goods were produced. Mostly, it's because they prefer something completely natural and organic, free of harmful chemicals that so many of us are exposed to on a daily basis. These hobbyists prefer yarn raw because they can manipulate it in every way, from its shape and design to its future color.

For some, it's because they know the harmful effects of being exposed to too many chemicals. For others, they just like the organic products and goods, coupled with a unique item. They take the yarn, dip it in the dye and allow it to absorb the desired color. From there, with their knitting or crocheting skills, they turn it into whatever they desire.

Just imagine creating something so special that would be as unique as anything, and knowing no one else in the world has the same item. Such practices have also become profitable businesses with many preparing the item from start to finish. Sometimes, they can be custom-made, and other times, simply produced and put up for sale.

Whatever the case, it is a trend that's catching on all over the world. People understand beauty and relate to it, and at the same time, they understand value. While they'll have to pay more for a handmade and hand dyed sweater than buying one massed produced, they will cherish the former. Not only will it look fabulous, but it will last longer than most goods sold at chain stores.

This natural product is very long-lived, so anything made of it will last, making the purchase an investment. Whether it's a dressy or casual item, it will put a smile on anyone's face, be it a man, a woman, or child. Nothing is warmer or cozier in terms of natural fibers, and coupled with the customizing of the color, it is unmatched in beauty as well. Whether you want to start a hobby or start a business, either full or part time, the end result will always be fabulous using these all-natural goods.
