German yarn company Pascuali has been producing environmentally friendly, natural, and fair-trade organic yarns since 2008, spinning everything from bamboo, corn, and stinging nettle to rare animal fibres like vicuña and qiviut. Sourcing directly from fibre growers to ensure sustainability and ethical production, they focus on fibre quality, the living conditions of the animals, and the working conditions on the farms.
Pascuali Arctic Pearl is made from eco-friendly SeaCell fibre, derived from a blend of Icelandic kelp and eucalyptus celluose. Machine-washable and biodegradable, this unique yarn is breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic – perfect for warm weather wear. Three fine threads woven into an airy tube, giving the yarn volume and elasticity with a silky-soft touch and an elegant sheen.
When we debuted this yarn last year, our fibre fam loved it! We just restocked, and we’re already dreaming of spring and summer projects. Too soon for you? Arctic Pearl is also great for layering garments, as well as lightweight scarves and shawls.
Beautiful stitched up on its own, Arctic Pearl is also ideal for pairing with other plant-based yarns like Pascuali Suave, a 100% cotton sport weight (which we also have in space!) that Pascuali describes as “vegan cashmere.” Get a head start on your summer projects with this gorgeous yarn!
