Schmeichelgarne.de is now soul-wool.com

Perhaps you still know us as Schmeichelgarne and are now surprised that you can no longer find this shop. Don't worry, we're still here! We just have a new name. After 12 years, schmeichelgarne.de is now called soul-wool.com. Apart from the new name, which is a bit more international, nothing else has changed: Every single product is still personally tested by me, Britta Kremke, the team is the same and works with the same passion you are used to. The prices also remain the same. Only the look is a bit more modern. If you want to learn more about the history of Schmeichelgarne and Soul Wool, feel free to visit our blog.

Buy GOTS-certified, mulesing-free organic wool

With currently around 50 organic yarns, including 21 GOTS-certified yarns, we are currently probably the largest supplier of organic wool, organic cotton yarns, and natural yarns. Another focus is recycled yarns and vegan wool for knitting and crocheting. All our yarns are guaranteed mulesing-free, and the wool comes from animal-friendly husbandry. With Manos del Uruguay, we offer a Fair Trade certified brand. And Cowgirl Blues, although not formally certified, can rightly be described as a Fair Trade company. The selection is so large that we have even created a separate category for sustainable organic wool here.

Popular knitting projects

Of course, we have wool for knitting baby blankets, baby shoes, baby hats, or baby socks and simply everything you need to knit small projects for babies. What's important here? The wool should be soft, easy to care for, and come in beautiful colors, such as The Merry Merino, the BC Garn Bio Balance, or Semilla GOTS. For all those who prefer knitting socks, we have various types of sock yarn in our range. Like the Kremke Edelweiss Alpaca or the hand-dyed sock yarn Alegria by Manos del Uruguay – every sock knitter is guaranteed to find what they're looking for here.

Free knitting patterns

Our patterns section is constantly updated and changed. If you are looking for a beautiful knitting pattern, you are sure to find something here, whether it's a hat or a baby blanket or something else entirely.
