I have been using my corn yarn dish cloths and loving them, except the fabric created by my double crochet is a bit too loose. So, now I am working in a single crochet.
Also, I emailed Kollage Yarns because I was curious about why the tag said, "imported fibers" when the only content is corn! Well, Susan from Kollage, got back to me the next day and told me this... The corn used in the yarn is grown in the US. Because of a shortage of mills in the US for spinning and dying, they must send the corn out of the country to a mill. Once the yarn is spun and dyed then it is back to the US for sale. So, I love it that they are using US corn for this! Anyone want to open a mill? Susan said they would love to produce the entire product in the US if they could.
Thanks to Susan at Kollage Yarns for answering my question. Kollageyarns.com is a great website with free patterns and a shopping cart for all their unique products, including square knitting needles! It is a fun site to visit.
