I just knitted a cardigan in Seagrass, and I had no loose ends, no knots - one continuous fiber from beginning to end. It knits up beautifully - soft variations of color creates a wonderful texture. I'm hoping that it will look as good after I have washed it! I like it! I just knitted a cardigan in Seagrass, and I had no loose ends, no knots – one continuous fiber from beginning to end.

It knits beautifully, no problems there, but so far I've had at least eight lengths of yarn, varying sizes, not knotted together (thank goodness). If their process makes it impossible to turn out a skein in one continuous piece they should have warned us. I’m halfway through my first skein of Lion Brand Recycled Cotton and I’m disappointed.

I'm such an idealist I feel like we might as well do things right rather than better. It says that it is blended with acrylic, which is further disappointing because it cannot be composted at the end of it's life cycle. So we keep t-shirt scraps out of the garbage for another use, but eventually they will end up there... *sigh* I have to say that the low recycled content of the yarn puts me off.
