Baby Blankets - Bamboo and Organic Cotton

These bamboo and organic cotton baby blankets come in a variety of colours and make a perfect gift for the ecofriendly mom and baby. Bamboo yarn is incredibly soft, hypoallergenic and naturally anti-bacterial. Organic cotton is free from herbicides, pesticides and other agro-chemicals. It's also super soft that's good for you -- and for the environment. What are the benefits of organic yarns? In choosing organic yarns over conventional yarns there are two main benefits that have both environmental impact and personal well being implications.                                                                                                                                                                                                      Cotton By farming cotton organically the harmful impact of pesticides to the land is eliminated and therefore soil fertility and biodiversity is greatly increased. Water is not polluted by these chemicals therefore aquatic life is maintained and unharmed by cotton production. In the case of cotton by farming organically pesticides cannot wash into the soil and ultimately enter our food chain, therefore helping maintain a healthier balance to all aspects of our lives. Bamboo  Bamboo just might be the world’s most sustainable resource. It is the fastest growing grass and can shoot up a yard or more a day. Bamboo reaches maturity quickly and is ready for harvesting in about 4 years. Bamboo grows rapidly and naturally without any pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Bamboo is highly absorbent  breathable and wicks away from the body.    A healthier consumer product Since skin can ‘breathe’ and absorb what is placed on to it into the body, the natural purity of organic cotton and bamboo from farming and processing greatly reduces the impact of harmful chemicals being exposed to skins surface. Bamboo clothing is 100% biodegradable and can be completely decomposed in the soil  by micro-organisms and sunlight without decomposing into any pollutants such as methane gas. Growing bamboo improves soil quality and helps rebuild eroded soil.      Care: Dry flat  Hand wash  Care: Dry flat  Hand wash  Product Care Instructions: Items made from this yarn may be laundered through the use of water, detergent or soap and gentle hand manipulation. No bleach product may be used. A machine dryer may not be used. Item may not be smoothed or finished with an iron.

My Mom and I will be participating in the Etobicoke School of the Arts Craft Fair along with 80 others who have hand made their arts/crafts. Please stop by for a visit and to support your local community artisans. Hope to see you there!

Spring/Summer Shawls and Ponchos

Summer calls for shimmery, head turning, take a second look, triangular shawls and diagonal ponchos in soft shimmery light-weight trellis. For the warm summer days and cooler evenings these cover ups look great over formal dresses or casually over jeans. Versatile colours suit any wardrobe. For my Peel District School Board friends I am offering a "Summer School Discount", you are an amazing group of teachers and staff! Diagonal ponchos are $55. and shawls are $40. The cost of the yarn is usually 3/4 of the price, my cost is minimal considering the effort each piece takes to knit. As you know, I do this not for profit but for the appreciation and for the joy of the Art. Thank you for your interest in my passion. For more of my collection and pricing, please visit the Picasa site http://picasaweb.google.com/Claudiascrochetcreations.
Coming soon - sparkling gold, shimmering mauve, and shiny platinum!
