Cool!

Have you seen this!?

Sparkly Dream in Color sock yarn! I'm not a big one for sparkles, but the pictures I've seen of the stuff in piles at yarn shops make it look totally gorgeous. Dream in Color has really beautifully dyed yarn. (Remember the Chinatown Apple Mittens from last winter?) But I want to know how they manage to spin the silver into the yarn. If I was spinning by hand, I can only imagine it would be painful or even dangerous.

And technology has given us yarn made from seaweed and soy; corn and bamboo; along with fleecy animals, fluffy plants, and worm spit. How neat is that!
