 About Vinni
When Vinni arrived in Cape Town a number of years ago, she was disappointed to find a very limited selection of cotton yarn in South Africa and an even more limited selection of colours so she decided to source cotton yarn and dye it herself.

Originally this was for her own use, however as friends and strangers started enquiring about the beautiful garments she and her family wore, she decided to increase production and start her own business.

The business has grown over the years and now has a number of employees. The yarns are beginning to make inroads into the USA where natural in big.

Vinni is always on the lookout for new natural yarns, which was why she introduced the bamboo range and organic cotton in great new colours.
