Quick join up members get recycled yarn and “quick knit” patterns to match – join the Leethal Quick Knits Club.
The small-scale designs in Leethal’s quick knits website section, and in the club, are perfect for both beginner knitters, wanting to try more complex techniques without being intimidated by a large project, and seasoned knitters in search of ways to use up yarn leftovers or knit up some quick gift items.
The spun recycled yarns start out as multiple strands unraveled from cast off sweaters, which are then spun on a spinning wheel and plied together, often with other threads or yarns added in the process. The recycled hand-dyed yarn also comes from unraveled thrift store sweaters, mostly wool or wool blends, dyed over in custom mixed shades of non-toxic food dyes (acid set for colorfastness).
