organically, but the mills processed the yarn with Yucky Stuff, or the dyes might BE
Yucky Stuff. Hows a knitter to know?
The idea is that the label will tell meit may say certified organic, for example. But exactly what has been certified organicthe sheep, the wool, the yarn label? Then
there is the yarns carbon footprint. How much oil and
gasoline was burned in processing and transporting it?
Was it packaged in dangerous-to-wildlife plastic bags?
Was the truck driver eating yellow arches hamburgers
along the way?
Theres a whole dyepot of dilemmas right there . . .
and the worst part is, there is no way to figure it all out
while standing at a display of luscious wool at your local
yarn shop.
