Before the industrial age, there were numerous limitations with regards to products. Since everything was handmade, it took time to make virtually everything, so they were very expensive. People often didn't have the funds available to fill their wardrobes with endless outfits, except for the affluent. So, many were sheep owners, and after they would shave down their sheep, they would spin the wool into yarn. In its raw state, it was undyed yarn and used in numerous applications.

Those who used it began to color it with dyes. They used natural color they got from vegetables mostly and created unique colors to make various accessories and clothes. Of course, as each batch was hand prepared, and with produce that was available, this dyed wool was always unique.

This art became virtually extinct in big cities, as people turned to mass-produced goods. Thankfully, it remained a normal part of life in rural areas around the world. From generation to generation the practice was passed down, and some embraced it for use in their personal projects.

For whatever reason, be it nostalgia or people wanting natural goods, people are returning to their roots. More and more hobbyists and businesspeople alike opt for yarn in its raw form to turn it into a one-of-a-kind item that's free of chemicals. They, like their forefathers, use natural dyes they make, to give it color.

Like this they have an entirely organic product and avoid harmful chemicals from coming in touch with their skin. What's interesting is that it's completely unique, which makes it that much more treasured. After it's dyed, it is knitted into something spectacular, according to the desire and need of the individual.

Most people feel extremely special wearing something so unique. Others have seen the profitability in the entire process and have turned their hobbies into successful businesses. At times, they can take custom orders, but for the most part, they produce numerous goods and make them available for sale.

This catchy trend is growing in popularity every day. People like the warmth, the quality, the uniqueness, and the beauty of an all natural item like this. They also know that they will pay much more for it than they would if they bought a similar item that was mass-produced. They're prepared to pay more because of all the benefits it brings, plus it will last.

It's safe to say that handmade items like these are beautiful and provide numerous opportunities for mixing and matching with existing wardrobe pieces. They are suitable to both men and women, as well as children, as everyone wants good quality stylish clothes and accessories that keep them warm and looking great. Knitting all-natural goods is a wonderful skill that can be used on a personal or business level.
