Keep in mind most people don't know any better and will happily use acryllic microplastic yarn instead of real organic plant/animal or even a combo without ever considering the implications simply because its cheapest. Hobby crafts people will absolutely buy the cheapest with the biggest bang for your buck and don't consider that they're shedding microplastics all over their home, breathing it into their lungs and in their body. But hey the cat got a cute wittle piece of furniture on the cheap and the microplastics are already here so why not embrace it.
