Why I'll Never Use Acrylic Yarn Again

Why I'll Never Use Acrylic Yarn Again

In "Why I'll Never Use Acrylic Yarn Again," I share my journey from a longtime acrylic yarn user to a staunch advocate for natural fibers. As I learned about acrylic’s environmental impact—from microplastic pollution to contributing to our throwaway culture—I couldn’t ignore the truth. I also discovered the joy of working with soft, breathable, and sustainable natural fibers. At Weave and Wander Yarn Shop, we’re crafting with intention, choosing eco-friendly yarns that align with our vision for a healthier planet.

My Favorite Eco-Friendly Yarns and Fibers

In the blog "My Favorite Eco-Friendly Yarns and Fibers," I highlight various eco-friendly yarns perfect for crafting while being mindful of the environment. The blog covers organic cotton, known for its softness and chemical-free cultivation; bamboo yarn, prized for its luxurious feel and antibacterial properties; and recycled yarns, which repurpose fibers to reduce waste. Choosing these yarns helps create beautiful projects with a smaller environmental footprint, promoting a more eco-conscious crafting community.
