The silk used in Knitting for Olive yarns is cruelty-free. Silk is made of silk threads that come from silkworms' cocoons. The cocoons are made of one single very, very long thread. In conventional silk production, the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silkworms to die. This way, the long, intact silk thread can be used. Knitting for Olive silk is made of silk threads from broken cocoons, where the silkworms have evolved into moths and escaped from the cocoon. The broken cocoon is now many short pieces of silk thread. These short silk fibers are made into yarn. This is a very time-consuming process, and the final result is less smooth than other silk because long silk threads make a smoother final silk product.
The fiber for Ghost Town Sport comes from Shaniko Wool Co. Merino/Rambouillet cross sheep. These sheep are raised by family-owned ranches in the Great Basin region of the American West.

In 2018, Jeanne and Dan Carver's family ranch – Imperial Stock Ranch located near Shaniko, Oregon – became the first ranch in the world to be RWS certified. RWS-certification ensures that the people, land, and animals associated with production of this yarn and fiber are all treated fairly and ethically.
Shaniko Wool Co. is building on the Carver family's commitment to regenerative farming practices which promote healthy ecosystems and preserve biodiversity for current generations, and those to come. Now a farm group of 10 ranches over 4 states, Shaniko Wool Co. is also NATIVA Regen certified - the first third-party certified, regenerative wool program in the U.S. With a double NATIVA + RWS certification, Shaniko Wool Co. fiber is 100% transparent and traceable from sheep to skein, raising the bar for sustainable wool sourcing in the United States.

Bourette silk is cruelty free! Silk yarn is made with the silk threads that come from silk worm cocoons. An intact silk worm cocoon is made of one single very long thread. In conventional silk production the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silk worms to die. Bourette silk, on the other hand, is made from the silk threads of naturally vacated cocoons – ones from which the silk worms have completed their natural metamorphosis into moths. During this incredible process, the cocoon breaks apart leaving the silk thread in pieces. These short silk fibers are painstakingly collected and spun into yarn. Creating bourette silk is a very time consuming process resulting in a more rustic, but no less luxurious strand of yarn.
