I offer no reviews or recommendations - these are just sites I have found and compiled for the sake of having them available if needed.
As with most things in life, there are many shades of green that are called ecofriendly out there. The following sites each have their own principles and practices regarding what is or is not acceptable as an ecofriendly material. My goal is to provide as many options as possible, with the view that the greater the support for all ecofriendly, the greater the support for very ecofriendly, too.
Reasonably priced, high-quality yarn that helps women in India and Nepal support their families and gets rid of waste. Recycled silk yarn, recycled silk sari ribbon, reclaimed linen and cotton, banana fiber yarn, wool yarn, hemp, nettle and funky fibers.
