Soy Silk Yarn

I noticed the post on the Daily Knitter message boards regarding Soy Silk. What is it?

Soy Silk yarn is an evironmentally friendly fiber made from the soybean residue obtained during tofu manufacturing. Soy protein is liquefied and then processed into long, continuous fibers to be cut and dyed just like other natural fibers such as cotton, linen and flax. The yarn is soft and shiny, plus takes dyes beautifully.

Ask your local knitting shop to carry the yarn, if they don't already.
