Yearn Worthy Yarn: A Look Back

Sea silk yarn I realize that we are now two whole days into the new year, but forgive me while I take a moment and look back on 2008 in yarn. Just like all the fabulous fabric that we’ve found over the past year, our yearning for eco-friendly yarns has taken us far and wide with much much more to come. So, check this space for more earth conscious yarns in ’09.

We’ve found some true gems in fiber form in 2008. We learned about frogging, that big box stores do carry organic yarns, and that you can make yarn out of old grocery bags.

We also took a hard look at stash busting, consumerism and found the first yarn co-op. But the biggest thing we’ve found in 2008 is the seemingly endless supply of eco-yarns perfect for anyone’s taste, budget and earth conscious level.
