I'm using it for the things I'm knitting for my baby on the way. It is SO soft, easy to work, and because its acrylic and PET it won't shrink like cotton can. I'm also on the 20% is better than nothing, and I haven't felt the other eco friendly yarns, but the feel of this one sold me. I’m new to knitting so I’m no expert, but I love this yarn.

I'll buy this instead for projects that call for it, so it works for me. I do like that Lion's recycled content is 70%, which is a lot more substantial than 20%. I'm in the 20% is better than nothing boat! I really like Caron Simply Soft, since I’m allergic to wool. I’ll buy this instead for projects that call for it, so it works for me.

If they make a product that people like then they may be motivated by the requests of their customers to make it more eco. Large companies are slow to change gears and a step as long as its not an end is good. I do think it needs to be pleasant to use as well. Just eco isn't enough.
