Eco-Knitting

On those summer nights when there is a bit of chill in the air or you’re on the beach at sunset, a light and airy wrap can feel just right. And when you’re traveling a versatile fashion accessory that doubles as a wrap or a scarf is the ideal addition to your wardrobe. The Jo Anne wrap/scarf is designed for Solo Lino, the almost unbelievably soft recycled linen. This sport weight wonder is a delight to knit and feels wonderful against your skin. The fact that the durable 100% linen gets softer with each washing means over time you’ll love it even more.

This truly simple project is designed to be relaxing. So, just cast on, then knit the same stitch every row and bind off. How’s that for relaxation?

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.
