The fiber used in our new Simply Soft Eco yarn is really a miracle of modern technology. The fiber begins as sterilized, shredded clear plastic drinking water bottles. This bottle "flake" is then melted and spun into a lofty fiber that resembles fiber-fill. Then, our mills spin and blend the recycled fiber with the same acrylic fiber we use to make Simply Soft yarn. It's an amazing transformation that produces a wonderful yarn. Discover the magic of Simply Soft Eco yourself with our new two-color Baby Blanket with a charming ruffle edging. Or our adorable Kid's Striped Hoodie. And help us save the planet one stitch at a time.

esigner Tammy Hildebrand has many fans and rightly so.

Our Sherbrook Elongated Summer Jacket, Tammy's newest project in NaturallyCaron.com Country yarn, is a wonderful example of her work.
