Wool sock containing no wool?
I love to knit socks, but I'm vegan. Does anyone know of a thread that does not contain wool sock or any other animal product? For those who do not know, good sock yarn is usually some type of wool, cashmere, alpaca, etc and 25% nylon minimum. As a vegan I can not, or at least not use animal products. Anyone know of a knitting weight yarn sock containing no animal products?
there are several out there. go here for the soy silk fibers are http://www.soysilk.com/ are corn, soy silk and bamboo. http://www.straw.com/cpy/yarns/pandasoy-card.html They have soy-cotton blends http://www.yarnmarket.com/knitting/Eco-Friendly_Fibers 670.html

Sprouts for Healthy Living
Raw food enthusiasts along with vegetarians can be grouped into many different categories, and each has a different theory of which natural food group is the best. The standard diet of a vegetarian is of course vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts. Then there are the vegans, who practice a more stringent form of vegetarianism. eating no animal by-products at all, including eggs and dairy. Then we have fruitarians who eat mostly fruit. and then there are those who eat mainly sprouts, Sproutarians.
Sprouts are one of the most nutritious foods one can consume because they have all of the building blocks for life inside them. The endosperm of a seed is where all these nutrients are stored including carbs, protiens and oils. After the seed has germinated these nutrients become natural sugars and pre-digested amino acids which the embryo of the plant feeds upon to grow. When we consume this life force and the energy it contains it is capable of helping our cells regenerate and supplies us with new energy and vigor. This is one of the major reasons sprouts are able to help us retard the ageing process.
Sprouts also contain large amounts of female and male hormones, in a formula that is the most easily assimilated by the body. Sprouts according to research have been shown to have one of the highest concentrations of vitamins. Sprouts are extremely easy to grow, are low in cost and are also very tasty. Sprouting can also become a profitable hobby that is not labour intensive. All people can benefit from the boost to our health systems that eating sprouts can provide.
You can sprout just about any legume, grain or seed, although some definitely taste better than others. You can try all of these, celery seed, wheat, peas, alfalfa, mung beans, chickpeas, fenugreek, fennel, and radish as well as many others. These Sprouts can most readily be acquired at health food stores.
If you would like to grow your own here's how: You only need to soak small seeds for 4 hrs and beans for 15 hrs. Also seeds can be mixed to create different taste treats. Here is what you will need to get started: a 2 liter wide-mouth mason jar. A piece of cheese cloth large enough to cover the top, or alternatively a piece of nylon stocking fastened by a rubber band. Place seeds in the jar as follows:
2 Tsps radish or fenugreek, 2 Tsps alfalfa, 1/2 cup mung beans 1/4 cup lentils. These need to soak for 15 hrs. then drain off the water. Then you need to rinse twice daily for 3-5 days. If you would like to make large batches to share with family, friends, or to sell put 2 cups of the mixed seeds in a large porcelain pot with holes in the bottom to facilitate the rinsing. Just put under the tap morning and night and rinse with warm water and/or optionally cover with a plate. The seeds will start to grow beautifully within a few days.
