I’ve added recycled yarn to my Etsy shop. The yarn is unraveled from a gently used, high-quality sweater. I’ve used the same yarn to knit these mittens. It is very soft and easy to knit yarn.

I’ve listed a new pair eco-friendly mittens. I recycled the yarn from a thrifted sweater (100% wool). The gray is the original color, the green is hand painted. I made a small embroidery on the front sides with pink and purple wool yarn.

I made another Christmas tree ornament. I crocheted it with recycled wool and new acrylic yarn, added some beads and a ribbon. Cute:) It is difficult to take pictures of white yarn on the white background…
Small, cute and green.

I’ve reclaimed a sweater from Goodwill. The yarn is nice, soft and pink… Too much pink for me, so I dyed part of the yarn. Here are the original pink yarn, yarn dyed with purple and yarn dyed with brown color. I like the result, the yarn looks like berries with chocolate:)
