Extruded biofoam is a biodegradable foam material formed by extruding a soft bio-based mixture into long, continuous strands. The extrusion process produces filament-like forms.
Composition
Bio-polymer filament
Handling Notes
- Ideal for crocheting and knitting
- Useful for temporary clothing alterations
- Extrude slowly for even strand thickness; quick pulls may create lumps
- Created by extruding bio-based foam from a syringe; easily made with the right recipe
- Handle delicately; it's more fragile than commercial yarn and not washable
