Description Opal Rainforest 21 Sock Yarn Rainforest is back for its 21st year, featuring eight exciting colours in various designs, just as colourful and diverse as the rainforest itself. “Ahoy, sailors! Your Captain Schildi welcomes all the happy passengers on our Amazon steamer. The navigator has chosen a beautiful route and given the coordinates to the helmsman. We’re ready to cast off. The ship’s mechanic jokes to the plug-puller that he shouldn’t play any tricks. But the lifebelt knitter is prepared for anything.” Fibre content: 75% wool, 25% polyamide Ball size: 100 grams Sock Yarn: 4ply Approximate length: 425 metres Recommended needle size: 2-2.5mm Care: Machine washable, but it is always wise to follow the care instructions on the ball band. Sock yarns are wonderfully versatile and are the perfect choice for knitting a variety of accessories, including mittens, gloves, hats, and socks. Opal uses this range to donate 10% of profits to the rainforests, which helps: Stopping the destruction of rainforests by companies and governments. Preserve the natural habits of humans, animals and plants in the rainforests. Promote respect for human and land rights for indigenous people. Helping the victims (both human and animal) of environmental destruction, hunting, and expulsion. Strengthening civil society in rainforest regions to fight injustice and ecological degradation. Working with scientists to protect and research rainforests. Educating politicians and consumers about environmentally damaging consumer behaviours. Currently, Opal has managed to raise 317,000 Euros for this cause.
