Earth Friendly Fibers - SWTC - Infinity and Xie Bamboo

The Saturday Mountain Spinners and Weavers Guild was swept away with "Go Green with SWTC", pioneers in Earth Friendly fibers.

Earth Friendly - SWTC Features Yarns made without Fossil Fuels, and stem from annually renewable resources.

Here are SWTC new Soy Silk animals. They all three have names, but I didn't write them down. Maybe someone can help me with this. Make a comment and continue the story.

Jonelle and Joe Rafino brought their two daughters to help our guild experience the fun yarns, fibers, books and animals. I am sure they enjoyed their weekend in Prescott.

Showing with the Rafino girls is Houston Koester, grandson of Carma. He enjoyed the morning as well.

 

The many natural products shown by Jonelle can be found at all finer fiber shops and if you can't find them ask them to get it.

Soy Silk has been a favorite fiber of mine since the beginning of my fiber journey.

Soysilk is as soft as cashmere writes SWTC. "Soybeans were grown as early as the 11th century BC in northern China, and were among the first crops grown by man. Ancient Chinese culture considered the soybean both food and medicine."

"Soy fiber is made from tofu manufacturing waste. The protein is liquefied and extruded into long, continuous fibers that can be sup like any other. The difference is in the 'hand', or feel of the fabric. As soft as 'real' silk, with a shiny pearl-like luster, soy is a joy to knit." writes SWTC.

Drop by my booth at the "Fibers Through Time" in Tucson and see the Infinity 100% Soysilk brand fiber as well as the Xie 100% Bamboo Fiber. I will also have Soy and Milk Fiber for the spinners so don't forget that trip to Tucson.
