We choose our products to meet the highest quality criteria while keeping our ecological footprint to a minimum, ensuring that your creations are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Whether you're an experienced or beginner in knitting or crochet, Maille Ô Maille is your destination for natural, planet-friendly fibres.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
At Maille Ô Maille, we're passionate about knitting and crochet. After discovering knitting a few years ago, we fell in love with it and the many benefits of these activities. These include stress reduction, positive effects on mental health, learning new skills, and promoting a more sustainable and ethical fashion.
We want to share this passion with you!
When you think about it, knitting and crocheting are impressive arts that enable us to create many unique objects from simple yarns and tools. Each stitch gradually transforms yarn into personalized pieces that showcase your skills and creativity. This is why we created a space where your imagination can flourish limitlessly, providing the materials and support needed to bring your ideas to life. We aim to accompany you on your journey by offering a welcoming, inspiring and learning environment.
MAILLE Ô MAILLE AND THE PLANET
Maille Ô Maille and our yarns
At Maille Ô Maille, we care deeply about the environment and animal welfare. That's why we're committed to offering natural fibres obtained without harming animals. What's more, our products include those made from certified organic and/or Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) materials. Our commitment to these principles reflects our desire to provide exquisite yarns that are beautiful and respectful of the planet and its inhabitants.
GOTS certification is a guarantee of respect for the environment and sustainability at every stage of the manufacturing process. Requirements relating to the dyeing process, wastewater treatment and energy use are constantly monitored, as are social ethics and worker-related aspects of the manufacturing process. The quality of the final yarn is also monitored. GOTS is a globally-recognized environmental brand that can only be used by certified distributors.
