Recycled Yarn

[Scorpio59]

This site explaines in great detail and pictures how to take apart a sweater to recycle the yarn. Interesting idea.

Thank you for that link! I've been wanting to find out what the best way is to unravel knitted/crocheted items for a while now!

Very helpful tutorial. Thanks for the link; I bookmarked it. Off to a thriftstore I go!

I have used that site's directions to unravel a sweater and they are easy to follow and work really well. I was amazed at how much yarn a sweater can give you.

Thanks!!! I've been thinking about doing this (once I work down my stash a bit, which I really doubt will ever happen!), and this is really helpful.
