South West Trading Company

South West Trading Company INC, are pioneers in earth friendly fibre and yarn for the hand knitting industry.

"We started the Earth fibre trend ... and now, we lead it!"

SWTC specializes in amazing fibre from annually renewable resources like soy and bamboo. The core philosophy of South West Trading Company is to only handle the finest and rarest products from the highest quality fibres. SOYSILK®, the trademark name for the company’s Soy Fibre, is the foundation. SOYSILK® is made from the proteins in Soy. The fibre is soft like silk yet warm, like cashmere. It wicks away moisture and has a soft, gentle drape. Interestingly, Henry Ford first thought of the idea of Soy Silk in the 1940s. However, during World War 2 the US government chose to endorse Rayon and Nylon and it would be decades before Soy fibre came to fruition. Now, this stunning fibre is available from South West Trading Company.
