Acrylic yarn from Yeoman Yarns.
It's arrived! More reinforcements in my quest to knit, knit and knit again. Thrice knit I say! (I think thrice should be employed more often, what a great word)
So I was thinking, as it's acrylic yarn should I have even thought about buying it. I got it to use with some acrylics that I already have and mainly aquired through a local charity shop. If I knit things in a mix of wool and acrylic they probably won't look right, the tension will be all odd and the washing instructions? Let's not go there. The effort and energy used to produce acrylics is tremendous and I'll readily admit to having a preference for supporting the use of real wools particularly the ones now coming from rare breeds.
I think this is an item for my 'working towards' list. As I use up the acrylics I do have perhaps I can replace them with more sustainable and local to me versions. I'm sure that they're out there, so I'll keep looking.
All suggestions welcome.
