Mary Corbet has stitched a bit with DMC's new Eco Vita crewel wool, which is a naturally dyed organic wool. You can see photos of some of the colors, Mary's stitching on linen, and get some idea of whether this is a thread you'd like to try. Mary promises more information on Eco Vita later.
Frankly, I love Appleton's crewel, so "cranky" isn't a term I'd apply to it. But everyone has a different take on threads. A lot depends on what you are stitching with it. I think Eco Vita would make a lovely belt in muted colors, maybe something with Medieval animals and motifs on it.
By the way, DMC has a short article about how to use Eco Vita on their website.
