Eco friendly recycled yarns
One thing I miss about living in Southern California is the oncoming cold weather. Actually, I don’t miss that one bit! …but if I did, these yarns would warm me to my toes. This particular skein is spun from mill-ends wool that was dyed along with the Easter eggs. Love these happy colors!
$25.00 at Blonde Chicken’s Etsy Shop
This beautiful green skein is made from the fiber of banana trees. (the decaying outer layers of the banana trees are harvested and soaked under water to result in a pulp suitable for spinning.)
$11.00 at Bodhi Yarn’s Etsy Shop
Recycled sari yarn is available in a vegan version (made from cotton and rayon and other natural fibers) and other versions created from recycled silk saris.
$10.00 – 12.00 at Recycled Silk

Wow those are all awesome green gifts.
** TickleMe Plant – It Moves **
Another great green low cost gift that will make everyone smile is to grow a TickleMe Plant and watch it MOVE when Tickled! The leaves quickly fold and even the branches droop when tickled. I found this to be a great stress reliever in my office and what a conversation piece!. You may have seen the TickleMe Plant in the botanical gardens.. Now it can be grown indoors year round.
No green thumb needed. I found it on line at http://www.ticklemeplant.com
