Knit Green: 20 Projects and Ideas for Sustainability by Joanne SeiffMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a great introduction to the world of sustainable yarn craft. I've seen projects online before utilizing recycled or reusable materials (old fabric cut into strips, unraveled sweaters, etc) but I didn't know a whole lot about the manufacturing process that goes into making yarn, or the practices farms make around the world. It gave me a lot to think about, and will make me pause the next time I go shopping for anything. It's crazy that, just like corn, manufacturers have pretty much kept to harvesting one type of cotton in this country - a type that requires a lot of pesticides and fertilizers to maintain - purely for the looks of it. It's a wonder more people aren't allergic to cotton these days!
