Aries Cedar Wood Blocks

Protect your handknitted shawls, socks and sweaters from moths: The fragrance blocks by Aries are made out of Atlas Cedar wood, which grows in Toscana, Italy. One block suffices to protect 11ft². Just place it between your knitted items or amidst your yarn stash – or wherever you would like the fragrance to spread. We also recommend to sand down the block every now and then with abrasive paper to reactivate the fragrance!

Lavender Sachets

To protect your favorite pieces from every knitter’s arch enemy, the moth, we are offering you now the lavender sachets by Aries. The handmade sachets contain the northern german „Lavendula angustifolia“. Besides protecting your clothes in an ecological way, it also spreads a fragrance in your closet.

By selling this product, we are actively supporting the biodiversity and species protection. To protect your shawls and sweaters just hang the sachet on a hanger or put it directly between the clothes or your yarn stash.

Bad Aiblinger Moorsalbe zur Intensiv-Massage

This intensive massage cream made with natural peat will help relax stiffness you may have incurred from extended knitting time. Maybe a loved one will use it to intensly massage your upper back, but it will also stimulate blood circulation and relax the stressed neck by simply applying it yourself. Even though the cream is naturally dark, it does not stain and will be absorbed into your skin easily. Peat from natural moor has been used for more than 200 years for its benefits with rheumatic issues, joint pains or muscle tensing. The black peat from the highlands contains not only anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, it also nurtures the stressed and sensitive skin. The peatland of Bad Aiblingen in Bavaria, Germany, has been cultivated in a sustainable fashion for many years. All peatlands in Germany are strictly protected as they serve as an important biotope for rare plants and animals. The Bad Aiblinger Moorsalbe intensive massage also contains rampion (German Teufelskralle) which has been used in folk treatments to support the musculoskeletal system. The ingredients Willow Bark, Arnica and Rosemary have anti-inflamatory properties as well. Apply to neck and shoulders and massage into the skin.

Santaverde Handcreme

I have been searching a long time for the ideal hand lotion for knitting hands. It should feel light and get absorbed quickly while still providing intensive care. In no way should the cream feel sticky or have a strong smell. Add to that the preference for truly certified organic cosmetics and the pickings get slim. Fortunately, the hand cream by Santaverde satisfies all these requirements. It is made from pure aloe vera juice and rich oils from almond and coconut as well as shea butter and cocoa butter. It takes care of even rough and stressed hands, while feeling great. The secret of Santaverde: Pure aloe vera juice uniquely rich in active ingredients from their own certified organic cultivation in Andalusia. Santaverde uses the pure juice, instead of the usual main ingredient water, complemented by precious plant oils and extracts, to create a unique effect for the health and beauty of your skin.
