recycled + alternative yarn
there are a lot of eco yarns available these days – organic cotton, bamboo, etc but what about trying out all the upcycled / recycled and just plain alternative yarns that are currently available. While browsing the gorgeous yarn shops on etsy recently I came across so many variations. Deconstructed t-shirt yarn, unraveled sweater yarn, spun rag yarn and plarn (plastic yarn).
