Got Yarn
I am so excited. So, I was online as usual and had this great idea. Recycled yarn! Okay so it’s not that new. I got to thinking and decided to go to my local thrift store to see what I could find. Well there wasn’t much of a selection but I did find a few sweaters in great condition in colors that I liked. I bought them for $2 each. Ran home. Washed them. Ripped them apart. This was quite a tedious process but it’s getting easier. Wound them on my yarn baller. End result: A ton of great cotton for $2!!! Now I had “the Bug” it happens to me every time I start a new project. Out I went the next day to another store. Found more great yarn, Angora, wool, more cotton. Ran home & continued the process. I have learned that there are some sweaters that are easier to disassemble but all yielded lots of great yarn. Now I have to figure out what I am going to make with my new found yarn. Oh the possibilities are endless.
