In economics that is called the 'multiplier' effect.
The concept is that when you pay somebody $1 for a task and then they
buy something for $1 and then the grocer pays staff $1 for work and that
person.... It isn't infinite but that is the simplest way of
explanation: that because that original dollar gets spent over several
times, it is said as an industry there is a multiplier for dollars spent
from it. Confused yet?
anyhow you use yarn, you get satisfaction from the process, the product
and the use of the product....
hey don't hit on me for this one; I stayed at GaTech a long time and
worked hard to be able to pull out such trivia 27 years after i left
campus (the last time)
