Toy Safety & Compliance

🧶 Yarn Testing & Toy Safety at Knit Me Harder Co.

Gorgeous chunky yarn, with the testing information to help you choose confidently!

At Knit Me Harder Co., I believe makers deserve to know exactly what they’re buying.

That’s why I offer three distinct chunky chenille yarn ranges, each with different testing credentials.

🩷 Everyday Blanket Yarn

My standard super chunky chenille yarn, perfect for cosy blankets, cushions and creative projects.

This range is not advertised as OEKO-TEX certified or EN71-3 tested.

🧶 OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certified Yarn

These 12 colours are part of my OEKO-TEX certified range:

  • Lagoon Lush
  • Teddy Bear
  • Strawberry Melon
  • Rainbow Sugar High
  • Berry Wild
  • Cotton Candy Sky
  • Acorn Spice
  • Peachy Keen
  • Sea Glass
  • Lemon Drop
  • Midnight Snuggle
  • Moonbeam

The manufacturer’s OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification covers testing for harmful substances in textiles, under Product Class I (baby articles).

These 12 colours are not individually SGS EN71-3 tested.

🩷 Premium Yarn — SGS EN71-3 Tested & OEKO-TEX Certified

For makers looking for additional testing documentation, my premium range includes 10 colours:

  • Matcha Magic
  • Dust Bunny
  • Koala Crush
  • Honey Badger
  • Ink Blot
  • Cherry Bomb
  • Marshmallow Fluff
  • Pixie Dust
  • Gummy Goblin
  • Pinky Swear

These colours form my dual-documented range, with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification and SGS EN71-3 testing.

The SGS laboratory report records a PASS against EN71-3:2019+A2:2024 for the ten submitted colour samples.

EN71-3 testing assesses the migration of certain elements from toy materials.

⚠️ Important Information for Toy Makers

EN71-3 testing of yarn does not automatically certify a completed handmade toy.

If you’re making toys for sale, you’re responsible for ensuring your finished products meet all applicable toy-safety requirements, including any additional testing, documentation and conformity marking required.

OEKO-TEX certification and EN71-3 testing are different assessments and should not be treated as interchangeable.
