I love Red Heart Yarn is the most inexpensive yarn in the store.Thank You for the video it was very interesting.

Nice. Acrylic melts onto a person's skin should it burn. Not like natural fiber.

super sad:
the lumpy sweater DOT word press DOT com and key in Peaches and Creme: Spinrite, American Cotton & A Sad End

Made from crude oil? Whoa! The U.S. needs to bring all of their old yarn mills back online again that produce all natural fibers~ (how 'bout it President Obama~ a cool way to create lots of new jobs!)
I''ve used lots of acrylic yarn but after hearing this I think I'm going to stick w/ natural fibers from now on :)

A web of yarn to wear. I don't like it. But the yarn process is amazing!

This is so interesting.

I didn't know acrylic yarn was made from crude oil...I always thought it was plastic/recycled plastic. Interesting!

@lar072857 what companies usually do is they also make other products such as carpets and curtains. for cotton production factories they make things like qtips, cotton balls, etc from the rejects. (learned it in school the other day! :D)
So...what happens to those rejects that don't meet the weight standards? Sure would be a shame to waste that product. Wonder if Red Heart sells them as seconds or scratch and dents?

@lar072857 Seconds and other products like overruns are generally placed into our donation program. We provide a certain amount of yarn each year to recognized charitable groups who have tax-exempt status to use in their work. These include such groups as Project Linus and Warm Up America.
