Knitting with Plastic?
More and more yarn companies are looking at different ways to make their yarns a little more eco friendly, and one of Caron's forays into greener knitting is Simply Soft Eco, an acrylic yarn made with 20 percent polyester.
What makes it a more eco-conscious yarn is that 20 percent, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. Each skein of yarn takes 60 percent of a bottle out of the waste stream, and Caron says it's saved a million bottles from being trashed in the production of the yarn.
It may not be the greenest choice out there, but for people who like acrylic yarns and the idea of having a little less impact on the planet, this yarn is a good choice.
