Rosários 4 yarns have been in space for over a year now, and we’re so thrilled to continue working with this family-run company from Portugal. Just in time for the DMV’s hot and humid summers, we have a new yarn from their Eco-friendly Collection: Odemira!
About Odemira
Odemira is a DK/light worsted-weight yarn spun from GOTS-certified, 100% organic cotton. In 11 shades of sun-kissed and neutral speckles, Odemira is a wonderful option for warmer-weather garments and accessories. It also pairs beautifully with our other Rosários 4 cotton yarns, Re-use and Regata, for coordinating or contrasting colorwork!
About Rosários 4
The company initially started as a wool dyer in the 1970’s and then expanded into a spinning mill for handknitting yarns in the 80s. Thirty years later, Rosários 4 now produces a huge line of yarns in an environmentally conscious way. They are committed to reducing their environmental footprint and have even created their own industrial wastewater treatment plant to reduce water usage, among other efforts. The company is also certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
