I've been recycling since the very first Earth Day back in 1970 and many of our customers say they have too!
Yet, fiinding quality recyled yarns has been hard to find...up until now!
I am so excited to have found two great sources of cotton and cotton blend yarns, made from 100% post-consumer waste.
I love the combined qualities of Remix's fiber content! Great as a transitional seasonal yarn for your entire family. Whether you knit up a quick scarf and hat or a mult-textured sweater, you'll love how quick and easy it is at 4.5 sts/1" on #8 needle. Remix goes a long way with 216 yards/skein!
But I see more. This is a great yarn for weaving placemats, runners , potholders and even rugs whether on your rigid heddle or two or more shaft loom.
Jodi, our #1 rigid heddle project designer is working on a quick & easy set of placemats with Remix and our other recycled yarn, Lion Brand Recycled Cotton.
This recycled cotton has a wonderful heather look that gives an interesting effect simply used by itself. We'll highlight Lion Brand Recycled Cotton in our next newsletter but for a sneak peek at our very affordable Recycled Cotton kits, Click Here.
And don't forget our ever-popular Riveting, our recycled jeans yarn in unusual colors!
We are all doing what we can to recycle, but now you can surely hit a home run by using recycled yarns in your handmades. Recycle-Reuse-Rethink!
Happy knitting, weaving & crochetting!
Irene & Jodi
