          Popcycle from HiKoo

          • 50% Bamboo, 50% Polyester from recycle plastic bottles
          • 305 yards/279 meters
          • 3.5 oz./100 grams
          • US 2-4/3-3.5mm needles
          • Approx. 6.5 stitches per inch
          • Fingering weight

          Popcycle is an eco-yarn.

          I’ve resisted yarns with polyester…until now. When I was introduced to Popcycle, HiKoo’s blend of 50% recycled plastic bottles and 50% bamboo, I was amazed. It is exceptionally soft with a wonderful hand, yet cool and extremely strong. It looks beautiful due to a subtle tweed effect that is the result of each fiber taking the color differently when dyed. But the best part is there are 2 plastic bottles in each hank of yarn. A study in 2016 showed that Americans consumed 50 billion plastic bottles and only recycled 23%. Just one million plastic bottles recycled saves 250 barrels of oil and eliminates 180 metric tons of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere. So, knitting with this sturdy, soft, cool, beautiful fingering weight yarn feels good in more ways than one.

            allhemp6 from Lana Knits

            • 100% hemp
            • 100g/skein
            • 165 yards/skein

            allhemp 6 is an eco-yarn.

            It is stronger and softer than cotton, will last twice as long and will not mildew. It’s a sustainable crop and an acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Cotton grows only in moderate climates and requires more water than hemp, which is also frost tolerant and grows in all 50 states, including Alaska. While pesticides and herbicides are used in the production of other fibers, hemp requires none.

            Long line flax is wet spun for vibrant color, outstanding drape and longevity; colorfast with ultimate softness and sheen. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Hand or machine wash, lay flat to dry or tumble dry.
