YarnMiracle

I am pleased to provide a variety of Companions to spark the imagination, encourage open-ended play and act as recipients for the wealth of adoration a child has to offer. My hand knit toys are sturdy with minimal seaming and designed for play.

Yarn Miracle Toys are intended for love and adventure. They are well-made and tightly knit. That said, please use the same common sense you use with any other toy. If an animal starts to show unusual wear, has a scissor related accident or looks like it might otherwise become a hazard: take action to protect your child. You know your child best, and you *are* the grown-up, so that action is your decision. Yarn for mending can be found in the First Aid Kits included with all Companions. If your animal needs help beyond your skill level, I am more than happy to provide immediate care.

Why buy organic and sustainable?
Cotton provides about half of the world's fiber needs. It is also one of the most chemically dependent crops grown today - 16-25% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop, are used in conventional production. Up to 1/4 of a pound of chemicals may be used to produce enough fiber for a single t-shirt. That's hard on the environment, rough for the farm workers and unhealthy for the wearer of the t-shirt. When you choose a Yarn Miracle Cotton Companion or Itty Bitty Buddy made with organically grown cotton, you aren't just buying an adorable, well-made, non-toxic toy for your child to cuddle. When you choose a Yarn Miracle Companion, you are preventing soil erosion, protecting the water supply, improving the lives of farm workers, saving energy and encouraging sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices.
When you choose a Luxury Companion, know that animal welfare is forefront in my mind. The rabbits who produce the angora I use are raised by the woman who spins the fiber. I purchase cashmere from a sustainable U.S. source with animal, predator and planet friendly practices. The eco wool stuffing I use is ecologically and sustainably grown in the U. S. with sheep and predator friendly techniques.
In short, your choice for your child's new best friend can help protect your child's future.

To save trees and energy, printed receipts are not included with orders unless specifically requested at checkout.

A word about CPSIA compliance:
Yarn Miracle has registered as a small batch toymaker (018806-122017) and is therefore exempt from third party ASTM F963 Toy Safety Standards Testing. Yarn Miracle's toys are all made with natural fibers that are also exempt from lead and phthalate testing (dyed or un-dyed, natural fibers don't contain hazardous materials). The toys are as flammable as their materials: cotton burns quickly, wool and cashmere are slow to ignite and may self-extinguish. These toys are created as soft toys. They do not contain plastic, wooden or metal parts of any kind. There are no sharp edges, tiny hazardous bits, batteries or electronics associated with them. There are no tags attached to the toys themselves as it is impractical to attach permanent tags to hand knit stuffed toys without machine-sewn seams. First Aid Kits are marked with the animal's color, fiber content, date of completion, location of completion, contact information and washing instructions. Enclosed business cards also carry contact information. As of December 2012, no models have undergone third-party small parts testing, so they are not listed or advertised as infant toys.
