Greenspun: “Fibers for GREENSPUN yarns are washed and spun with vegetable-based soaps and oils rather than the petroleum-based products standard in the textile industry. No chemicals are used to bleach, shrink-proof, or moth-proof.”

6 of the shades are created with un-dyed fibers. These hues are the result of the glorious color provided by the alpaca fiber: Cappuccino, Chai, Cream, Cocoa, Dark Roast and Earl Grey.
