Walking the Walk: How We Weave Our Values Into Every Stitch

At Stars Hollow Yarns, we believe that how we do business matters just as much as what we sell. Every skein on our shelves, every partner we support, every shipping choice we make — it’s all part of a bigger commitment to care for the planet and the people on it.

From the very beginning, we've asked: What does it mean to create beauty in a way that also supports justice, sustainability, and community? Our answer is simple: we walk the walk.

We're proud to be members of 1% for the Planet, giving back a portion of our sales to organizations that champion environmental and social causes. We’ve partnered with local farms, renewable energy providers, and small-batch producers whose values align with ours. We even drink coffee that gives back.

And we don’t stop there. Our shipping materials are compostable or recyclable through innovative programs. We amplify BIPOC voices in fiber. We choose slow, intentional partnerships. And when you walk through our doors, you’re surrounded by natural, fair-trade, and organic fibers from around the world — including some spun by rural women working toward financial independence in places like Tajikistan and Uruguay.

Help Us Keep the Loop Going

When you choose to shop with us, you’re not just supporting one small local business — you’re uplifting a network of farmers, fiber artists, spinners, dyers, and makers across the globe. Many of our partners are family-run, women-led, or based in communities that rely on your support to keep their doors open. Here's a list of businesses we know you will love supporting.

Your purchase has power. Help us keep these businesses thriving by choosing products with purpose, asking questions about sourcing, and spreading the word. Every stitch makes a difference.

With gratitude,
The Stars Hollow Yarns Team
