Hello! We're so glad you're visiting our shop. At Soul Wool, we have a dream vision of wool. It's soft and durable, it has to look great, and above all, it has to be produced fairly, sustainably, and in an environmentally friendly way! That's why soul-wool.com offers so many GOTS-certified yarns, recycled wool, and many vegan yarns. Only yarns that meet the highest ecological and ethical standards from sheep to shelf are allowed to carry the GOTS seal. We don't stock wool treated with environmentally harmful chlorine or from sheep farms that might practice mulesing. We hope you enjoy our shop. Happy exploring! And happy knitting!

Schmeichelgarne.de is now soul-wool.com
Perhaps you still know us as Schmeichelgarne (Flattering Yarns) and are surprised that you can no longer find the shop. Don't worry, we're still here! We just have a new name. After 12 years of schmeichelgarne.de, our shop is now soul-wool.com. Aside from the new name, which sounds a bit more international, nothing has changed: Every single product is still personally tested by me, Britta Kremke, the team is the same, and they're just as passionate about their work as you've come to expect. The prices remain the same, too. Only the look is a bit more modern. If you'd like to learn more about the history of Schmeichelgarne and Soul Wool, feel free to check out our blog.
