Schmeichelgarne.de is now soul-wool.com

You might still know us as Schmeichelgarne and are currently wondering why you can no longer find this shop. Don't worry, we are still here! We just have a new name. After 12 years of schmeichelgarne.de, our shop is now called soul-wool.com. Apart from the new name, which is a bit more international, nothing changes: 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 remain the same as well. Only the look is a bit more modern. If you would like 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 24 GOTS-certified yarns, organic wool is one of our key product focuses. Another focus is recycled yarns and vegan yarn for knitting and crocheting. Our wool yarns made from animal fibers come exclusively from mulesing-free farms with animal-friendly husbandry. With Manos del Uruguay, we offer a Fair Trade certified brand. And with Cowgirl Blues as well, we place great importance on fair working conditions along the supply chain when selecting our products. The selection is so large that we have even created a separate category for certified yarns & organic wool.

Popular knitting projects

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