13 Eco-Friendly Yarns to Check Out

It’s been in the back of my mind for some time to hunt down and compile the coolest recycled yarns out there, then put them on the blog, and today I’m finally doing it! I’ve found some really special yarns, all different types of fiber content, plus a variety of weights. I think recycled yarns are extra special to work with because you know it’s better for the environment, plus bringing something new out of what was once destined for trash is so great. Some of these you may have heard of, but I bet you’ll find some in this list you’ve never seen. Check out the last one on my list… it’s recycled from an old sweater and has the most beautiful colors!
