SUSTAINABLE SKEINS

Welcome to the Greenstone Yarn Sustainable Skeins Program—a thoughtful initiative designed to bring you beautiful hand-dyed yarn at an incredible value while supporting our commitment to sustainability. Our Sustainable Skeins are high-quality bases just like the ones you love, with one simple difference: they are prototypes, experimental colorways, or skeins that didn’t quite meet our strict quality standards. Rather than letting them go to waste, we’re offering them to you at a discounted price.

🌿 About the Program

Greenstone Yarn's Sustainable Skeins are just as luxurious and vibrant as our main collection—these are experimental colorways and prototypes that may feature slight variations or unexpected color twists. Available in packs of 2 skeins for $30 and 4 skeins for $60, they’re an affordable way to craft responsibly.

  • Eco-Friendly: Yarn that might have otherwise gone to waste is given new life in your hands.

  • Unique Colorways: Each pack is a surprise of color and texture, perfect for adventurous projects.

  • Support a Greater Cause: 5% of every purchase supports the Cancer Research Institute.

  • Loyalty Program Eligible: Earn points on every purchase!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Sustainable Skeins Program?
A: It’s a program where we sell prototype or experimental colorways at a 50% discount. These are high-quality skeins that didn’t quite fit into our main collections but are still beautiful and perfectly usable.

Q: What kinds of yarn are available?
A: Both tonal and variegated skeins, mostly tonal for now. They are the same bases as our full-priced yarns.

Q: Can I return these yarn packs?
A: No, due to the deep discount, these are final sale. Thank you for understanding 💚.

Q: Are purchases loyalty program eligible?
A: Yes! All purchases count towards your Greenstone Yarn loyalty points.

Q: Does this program support any charities?
A: Yes! 5% of all proceeds from the Sustainable Skeins Program go directly to the Cancer Research Institute.

Q: How often will new yarn be added?
A: New yarn will be added periodically as prototypes and experimental skeins are created.

Q: Will I know the colorway names?
A: These yarns are one-of-a-kind, so most won’t have official names, but each will be beautifully unique.

Q: Can I request specific colors?
A: You can absolutely leave color preferences in the notes field at checkout—we love seeing your fun and creative requests like “no pink ever,” “sea glass and driftwood,” or “forest witch energy.” We’ll do our best to match them based on current inventory, but specific colors cannot be guaranteed. That’s part of the magic!
