Collection: Yarn Citizen

During a trip to Peru touring fair trade mills, the creators of Yarn Citizen watched sheep 'tops' getting sorted and the remnants pile up.  Every year mills end up with thousands of pounds of high quality fibers that don't make it to final production.  This is not because they are second quality but often because there is not enough to make a spin cycle for a yarn line.  Often these luxurious leftovers are just thrown away.  In an effort to save them from landfills, and to develop a high quality yarn that is affordable, these leftovers were rescued for the Yarn Citizen lines.
