Círculo
Círculo was founded in 1938 by Swiss-born Leopoldo Schmalz in Gaspar, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. The factory still runs there today. The company started out making embroidery threads, darning threads and ribbons. In the 1960s it began spinning its own yarn from raw cotton.
Today Círculo is known as the largest maker of craft threads in Latin America, and it sells in more than 60 countries. They have reused their dyebath water since 2008, work with the Better Cotton Initiative, and offer OEKO-TEX certified products.
At Icon we carry Círculo yarns like Bossa Nova, Lucky Feet, Veluna and their premium T-shirt yarn. You'll also find their amigurumi kits and more than 300 shades of Maxi Mouline embroidery floss.
