The Little Yarn Store is focused on sustainable and ethical sourcing of our yarn, tools, notions, and publications. We focus on bringing in yarns with the following qualities:

• Biodegradable
• Cruelty-Free
• Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
• Made in Australia and New Zealand
• Non-Mulesed Wool
• Oeko-Tex Certified
• REACH Compliant
• Women-Owned
• Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)

We use Shopify's Planet to make all of our shipments carbon-neutral.

Every time an order is processed and shipped, a small contribution is made to purchase carbon removal credits from companies that are a part of the Shopify Sustainability Fund, creating technologies and solutions that pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it long term. 

The packing supplies we use inside our Australia Post satchels and boxes are selected for environmental sustainability. Here are some of the products we use:

• HeapsGood Hex Wrap
• HeapsGood Eco Labels
• HeapsGood Eco Tape
• noissue Masking Tape
• noissue Stickers

We support Beyond Blue through donations raised at our in-store events. To date we have raised $365 for Beyond Blue.

$1.00 from each hank of Circus Tonic Handmade will be donated to BirdLife Australia's vital bird and habitat conservation programs. To date we have raised $237 for Birdlife Australia.

Our team volunteers with the Crochet Club at the Brisbane South State Secondary College to teach the next generation of crocheters.
