Going vegan is increasingly popular – but it isn’t just about what you’re eating.
The plant-based life can leave you with a lot to think about, from the everyday items manufactured with animal derivatives to the clothes in your wardrobe – and even hobbies.
Global crafting platform LoveCrafts.com has reported a rise in the number of people searching for vegan-friendly craft materials, including yarn made from banana trees and bamboo.
Fran Theobalds, senior buyer at LoveCrafts, said: “With veganism on the rise, we’ve seen an increase in makers searching for vegan-friendly craft materials.
“There’s a lot of genuine surprise there are so many plant-based yarns to choose from, and knitting isn’t just about wool! Veganuary is the perfect time for people to experiment with new materials, without giving up the things they enjoy.”
