Ok, so maybe I made that last part up. But a big truck full of yarn did crash and spill all over a highway in South Carolina… Why was their no mention of fiber content? Gauge? The article says a second truck was sent in to pick up the yarn but they conveniently left out information about where the yarn was going–perhaps, like armored vehicles, yarn trucks’ routes must be carefully guarded secrets…

    If some cargo has to spill all over the highway, yarn is probably pretty safe. It might be a stretch to say that it would cushion drivers, but at least it won’t give them flat tires.
