Finding Recycled Yarn on the Internet

July 25, 2007 |

Picture courtesy of KnitWit site. Have you tried to recycle yarn? Have you bought a sweater at a resale shop and tried to take it apart to reuse the yarn in your project and pulled your hair out in the process?
If you have attempted this and decided it isn’t something you want to do, might I suggest looking at shops on the internet that recycle the yarn for you. One shop I found is Jag’s Funky Fibers.

Ebay and esty can be additional great sources for recycled yarn. One shop on ebay, The Twice Sheared Sheep, believes that “yarn unfortunate enough to be born as a store bought sweater still deserves to be made into a hand made item”. They have some yummy pink silk/angora up right now. Another shop on ebay is Recycled Yarn and Gently Used Stuff. Good name, right?

Because the yarn is recycled, you need to buy all that you think you might need, because that is probably all you will find.
