Seaweed & silk yarn

Thanks to a fellow CPer for the mention of this yarn. I googled and found some information. A yarn made of 30% seaweed, I guess similar to the bamboo fibers, it's supposed to have antibacterial and antimicrobial benefits, and give vitamins and minerals to the skin, yet mixed with 70% silk - soft texture, vibrant colors, wow! Some even have silver spun in with the seaweed and silk - oh, luxury!
Here are some blog enteries so you can read more about it, plus gorgeous color pictures. The first link also has a list of current retailers.

If you're actually ready to buy some on line check here "Colorsong yarn"
"Gaspereau Valley Fibres"
or "Little Knits" The Periwinkle dye lot A is closest to my favorite colors, but look at the Straw!! Don't you think that crocheting a shawl out of that would feel like spinning straw into gold?
For the scientist or the science-curious, here's a little information on Textile World about the fiber CD=3089&ID=9629>"TextileWorld"
This site, selling clothing made of organic materials, has a nice page about organic fibers, such as bamboo, seaweed and papaya! "Ekyog Organic clothing"
