USA made

I like buying usa made products. I know that everything we buy isn't made here.  Wouldn't it be nice if it were. :)   Lets keep our manufacturing here by buying it here. 
As you know from reading my blog I love to quilt and do some other things like knit and crochet.  Here are some yarn companies that make yarn here in america.  Maybe not their entire line of yarn but you can check it out to see where its made before you buy. 
Red Hart Yarn
http://www.redheart.com/blog/red-heart-yarns-made-usa    They have 19 yarns that are USA made.

Did you know they can make yarn from corn? I sure didn't. The yarn looks beautiful. They actucally have beautiful colors available.
They also have yarn made from recycled blue jeans. Yes you read right  recycled blue jeans. Check this out.
