RECYCLED YARN - THE STORY
This is yarn recycled from always-clean and always-excellent quality sweaters. I don't straighten the yarn, so it will be curly but very usable. I clearly mark any skeins, which have multiple knots. This is a non-smoking, cat-friendly home. Most of my business is repeat so you can tell by my feedback that you'll be getting a bargain. You'll love this stuff!
THE SWEATER
The yarn was created from a woman’s long sleeved, V-neck sweater by Banana Republic. It was an oversized medium.
THE YARN
This very rich yarn is 83% silk, blended with 17% cashmere. The color is a beautiful soft blue – suitable for any age, including babies. This is my favorite blend to work with because the silk is very strong and the cashmere adds a bit of softness. I doubled the single strands to create a final fingering weight strand. There’s just over a half pound in the lot. The golf ball is a size reference. Some of the skeins have a knot or two to keep the strands even and they’re not marked. None of the others have knots and it’s all been wound into center-pull skeins.
WEIGHT
Total weight of the yarn is 8.1 ounces or 230 grams. It’s 18 WPI (this is the number of times you can wrap the yarn around a ruler in a one inch space without overlapping or leaving gaps). This is a fingering weight yarn.
