Yarn Christmas
Posted on Friday, May 8th, 2009 at 6:56 pmIs wool yarn considered vegan?
I'm trying to knit a hat for a vegan friend of mine for Christmas, and I'd like him to be warm. I was going to use wool, but I'm not 100% sure if he would like that. I know some people are only vegan with food, but some are vegan with clothes and such.
So is wool yarn vegan? If so, what's a warm/durable alternative?
Wool isn't vegan. If he was vegan only in regard to what he eats, then he would be a strict vegetarian, not a vegan. I'm assuming since he refers to himself as vegan, that he actually is, so wool wouldn't be appropriate.
There's this type of acrylic yarn that kind of looks like wool. It's kind of fluffy, like it looks old & worn almost. You could also use polyester or cotton or a blend of any of them. To make it a little warmer, you could stitch in a layer of fleece on the inside after you're done knitting it. You could even knit two hats, one slightly smaller & stitch them together at the top circle part and along the bottom edge after. Also, if you double it either with fleece or yarn, you could do them in contrasting colors, so if he folds the bottom up, there's an extra little detail. It would probably be reversible too.
