The New Food Yarns

You know, I love yarn. I do. But... the idea of making corn and even milk into yarn kinda bothers me, the same way the biofuel movement does. There were food riots in Mexico last year about corn shortages. Not that anyone noticed. And milk, milk is almost four dollars a gallon here, and I live within a short drive of cows. On the other hand, soy yarn doesn't make me twitchy, even though it's a food product, and one I eat no less. Maybe that's because we never hear about soy shortages.

The idea of ecofriendly bamboo yarn really excites me, even if the process isn't perfected yet.
