TOFUtsies: Now with Chitin

topic posted Thu, October 11, 2007 - 7:22 PM by  Bladerunner
Has anyone here tried TOFUtsies yarn with the chitin in it? How does it work up? What do you think of it as a functional yarn (not just a novelty)?

Is it true that the shells come from restaurant waste & by-products?

Do you know if someone with shellfish allergies would have a problem with it? I've been looking around on the web and I can't find anything one way or the other just yet that speaks to the allergies.

    I have some, but I have not used it yet. Some women I know have made beautiful lace scarves out of the yarn, even though it is sold as sock yarn. It works up great. Don't know about allergies or about it being waste & by-products.
