Is one of your New Year's resolutions to take better care of our planet? There are so many easy ways you can make a difference—recycle more often, conserve fuel, turn down the thermostat. But one of the easiest (and most creative) ways to help Mother Earth is to knit or crochet your next project with Simply Soft® Eco yarn! Available in 34 beautiful colors, Simply Soft® Eco is the newest member of the Simply Soft family of yarns.

Just how does Simply Soft Eco help you help the planet? Every 10 skeins of Simply Soft Eco saves 6 plastic bottles from America's landfills.  Simply Soft Eco is a blended yarn that consists of 80% of our Simply Soft fiber and 20% of a specially processed fiber produced from recycled plastic bottles. The recycled plastic bottles are thoroughly cleaned and refined, a process that completely removes any residue.  This assures a fresh, clean yarn. (This same fiber is used in cotton/ polyester sweaters and socks.)

So get started on your New Year's resolution with these great projects...
