Such great points, thank you. This is something that has been on my mind a lot recently and especially when I was at a recent yarn show.
Obviously I want to support fellow small businesses but I already own more project bags and stitch markers than I can possibly use and I am trying to be much more mindful of the 'stuff' I bring into the house - knowing how much yarn I already own and still am yet to use. It feels like a constant battle.
I completely understand your sentiment, Louise. I also want to support small businesses (especially fibrearts ones!). I think that is why it's important to have an open conversation. While I can't imagine how difficult balancing the viability and environmental sustainability of a business is, it's also important that, as a community, we are encouraging each other to think of our environmental and ethical impact. Although it can be incredibly hard to find, balance has to be key.
Thank you, Jane, for spreading the message about the environmental impact of our craft. Awareness is the first step to making mindful, informed yarn purchases. And those purchases support and encourage thoughtful, ethical yarn manufacturing.

Exactly, Sandi! Small steps are the way to go to eventually influence the way yarn in manufactured.
