I love to knit, but I don't want to be buying from companies that abuse the animals they are getting the yarn/wool from!.

Buy synthetic yarn then, or get your wool for a local dealer where you know they take good care of their sheep!. I don't buy wool yarn because it's just to expensive!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
you could try to look for yarn made from Yak hair,Yaks naturally shed the hair and it is brushed off or found in clumps on the ground,washed and sorted and then spun into yarn,it is expensive but the Tibetans have been using it for yarn forever!.other than that i would go with cotton or synthetic yarns but there is nothing cruel about wool if it is sheered from the sheep properly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Get some dogs and spin your own yarn from the hair that comes off when you brush them!. Buy raw fleece from local shepards that you trust and spin it yourself!. Either that or switch to cotton or synthetic!.
The companies that spin yarn don't own the sheep!. They just buy wool from the shepards!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use cotton, acrylic, or other fibers!. There is no such thing as cruelty-free wool, unless perhaps you cohabit with some sheep & sheer them (humanely, nicely) yourself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
well im sure there is polyester, or cotton yarn!. just ask the person where you get your yarn from, maybe they will know!. of it should say plolyester on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
