Cotton Sustainability

1st Place

Winner!

Here I am, back at it again!! For those who don’t know, I’ve been crocheting for about 4-5 years now. It’s been a hobby that not only benefits me, but the also the environment. The yarn I’ve used to make this top is 100% USA grown cotton! I chose the color olive, from the brand Bernat using their handcrafted cotton yarn. So not only is this yarn made in the USA (which lowers its environmental footprint), but because it’s 100% cotton it’s also sustainable and biodegradable. Buying clothing that’s made of cotton (instead of synthetic fibers) is a simple way to vamp up your wardrobe, while helping the earth!! Happy customer, happy earth. #crochet #cotton #sustainability #artist #biodegradable #cottonworks #cottoninc #motherearth
