Description

The listing, 250 yards Lambswool Reclaimed Yarn has ended.

Reclaim, Recycle, Rejuvenate! Saving the Earth one Hank at a Time!

I find pre-loved garments that are homeless and gently unravel them and prepare the yarn to be upcycled into something beautiful.

Being repurposed, there are knots along the way. You can use the knots to your benefit making shabby chic or boho items or you can hide the knots in your work.

Questions & Comments

OH MY GOODNESS You are too cool! I am sooooooo a fan, anyone who can repurpose pre-loved garments is on my fantastic person list! If I weren't so busy trying to list my own stuff I would outbid everyone for this beautiful yarn. I have just learned to knit and it is one of the greatest hobbies I have!

Thank you! I'm a crocheter myself. I can't always afford some of the nicer yarns (lambswool, cashmere, merino, etc) however I can afford them in pre loved garments!

Warning: it is addictive once you start, and you will never look at fiend's sweaters the same! :)

Love the yarn. I knit & crochet & would love to try this yarn. How did you learn to do this? Do you weave it too?

Apr 3rd, 2013 at 9:17:18 PM PDT by

I don't weave... Yet... I crochet and am learning to spin. As far as learning how to do this, I just had to take apart a few sweaters to figure it out.
