I just got a Tigress sock kit from Urth yarns, which I’m pretty jazzed about. Partially because it knits up self-striping tiger stripes. And partially because for each kit (or any of their yarns) you buy from them, they fund planting a tree in partnership with Trees for the Future. Check out their Story section for the ways they help their workers and the environment, and the Trees section for more about Trees for the Future, which looks like a pretty good charity.
Apparently when I don’t know what else to do, I buy yarn. In this case, that may have been at least a little helpful.
Oh what a great charity, and the yarn looks so cool!

It is! They have a pretty good rating on Charity Navigator, too. It looks like a really good group 🙂 And tiger stripes!

Love it! Trees are a very worthy cause! They use up CO2 for survival and help give us clean air to breathe. Plus, they are the best jungle gym Nature has to offer!!!

I haven’t watched it yet – animal abuse or neglect is one of my hot buttons, and I’m a little afraid of what I am going to see. But it is really cool yarn!

It is horrible, yet I couldn’t stop watching it. Don’t start it.

I got one skein of Psychosocial – Lady Persephone Sock – Bluefaced Leicester & Nylon, and the last four skeins of The Future is in Our Hands, I’m so sorry – The English Gentleman DK – Bluefaced Leicester & Masham. I love that most of their color ways are one-offs!
