There is no doubt that a synthetic yarn such as Grass Eternity is not produced from green sources – it is made from petroleum, but so are many other yarns – acrylic, polyester and nylon for example. However, its properties mean it can be used for a wide range of crafts that some other yarns would struggle with.
Polypropylene won’t rot, isn’t attacked by mould or mildew, it’s moth-proof, won’t fade, won’t stain (and therefore won’t dye), remains flexible at -55°c (!), is difficult to ignite, will not absorb any water and is therefore quick drying (because it doesn’t actually absorb it). The properties it displays mean it will be brilliant for anything outdoors or that may be exposed to sunlight, weather or the cold.
