Studies have shown that knitting can have a very positive impact on one's mental health. The list of benefits is extensive and includes improved concentration and focus, feeling a sense of accomplishment, increased confidence, coping with stress and anxiety, and provides a creative outlet ( You can learn more about these benefits at the Craft Yarn Council ) . So go grab those needles, yarn and get happy!

Resolution 5: Become more socially conscious & shop ethically
Did you know that Bare Naked Wools are incredibly unique and ethical? Locally produced, fair trade and organic yarns are as socially conscious as you can get. We are a small business that works closely with regional suppliers - the farmers and their animals. On top of knowing where the farm fresh fiber comes from, we also work with smaller artisanal spinners to produce high quality yarn. We maintain a focus on single-breed pure wool yarns and exotic blends, in natural shades that accentuate the superbness of raw simplicity. To shop our yarns, click here .
