recycling yarn

Time for some colour tests. Today is red and orange.

I have amassed quite the stash of recycled yarns recently.

As a relatively new knitter, I have been shocked by the extremely high prices of yarn. Of course, at the same time, I love high quality natural fibres, especially soft wool, as it is so forgiving and easy to knit.

These conditions have led me (and many, many others) to recycle yarn from sweaters – beastly old ones I never wear, and treasures found at thrift stores.
