Ideal for lightweight garments, baby knits and warm-weather accessories, this yarn offers the perfect balance of softness, stitch definition and plant-based purity.
 
Whether you're searching where to buy cotton yarn in Australia or simply want a beautiful organic yarn that’s gentle on skin and the earth, this one’s a standout.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Made in Türkiye from certified organic cotton, Eco Organic Cotton Hand Paints is GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it's grown without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers and tested to ensure it’s free from harmful substances.
 
That means it’s kinder to the soil, to the workers who grow and process it and to you.
 
The yarn is then hand-painted in a space-dyed technique that creates subtle variegation and tonal shifts, giving your projects visual interest and depth without overwhelming your stitches. The artisanal nature of this yarn means each skein is slightly different, making every piece you create truly one of a kind.
 
This yarn is especially lovely for those who prefer plant-based fibres but still want softness, colour and drape.

Eco Organic Cotton Hand Paints is made for makers who care about their craft, their comfort and their impact. It glides smoothly on needles and hooks, delivering even tension and beautiful stitch definition with every row.
