Go Green with Remix!
What's happening at |
Get started on a spring project with Remix or Remix Light!
Berroco's Remix and Remix Light are great all-season yarns that are also a way to "green" your knitting! This 100% recycled yarn is manufactured using a low-impact process that was patented in France. Garments and high-quality commerially knit fabric left over from the ready-to-wear industry are collected from across Europe and sorted by fiber and color. Since the fabric is already dyed, there is no need to dye it again, which saves water and limits pollution. Instead, colors are created by blending garnetted fibers. Garnetted fiber is the result of shredding old textiles to make new, fleece-like fiber that is ready to be spun into new yarn. Remix and Remix Light use a soft, comfortable blend of nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk, and linen that results in a beautiful tweedy and rustic look. Try one of these projects, perfect to add to your spring and summer wardrobe:
Maelle, in sizes to fit 32-68" bust, using 4-8 balls of Remix.
Auden cardi, in sizes to fit 32-70" bust, using 4-9 balls of Remix. Reese, in sizes to fit 32-64" bust, using 2-3 balls of Remix Light.
Fragaria, in sizes to fit 30-58" bust, using 2-3 balls of Remix Light. Thank you to all who participated in the 2024 edition of the West Michigan Yarn Quest! It was great seeing all the new faces, as well as our old friends!
