Here in the US, we have a love/hate relationship with all those internet hauls.
Imagine the waste. And a lot of it is essentially plastic.
An influencer goes out once a week, or once a month and buys 20 skiens of yarn that they then have to decide if they are going to use or “donate” and if they use it, they generally make the 50th of something they have no intention of keeping, so that gets tossed or “donated” and they do it again over and over.
Same problem as with fast fashion. It all has to go somewhere.

Yes, Turkey. So the yarns are made in Turkey and not China. I’m general, the ones made in Turkey are of better quality.
