Products

All of our products started out as a second-hand sweater.

  • Cashmere Yarn

    Cashmere Yarn

    Our recycled cashmere starts out as second-hand cashmere sweaters. We then reclaim the fibers and respin them back into sumptuous new cashmere yarn. We add 25% Merino during the spinning process to even out any inconsistencies and the resulting yarn is soft and fluffy, but with enough heft to knit up into a really nice, warm piece. The slubs add tons of texture too!

  • 100% Wool Yarn

    100% Wool Yarn

    Our original product. Each hank measures 126 yards and is 100% wool. Each set of hanks comes from the same sweater. Each set averages only 5 hanks, so keep this in mind when planning projects.

  • Knit Kits

    Knit Kits

    For those who wish to learn how to knit. Our kits come with everything you need to learn the basics. They include a full, 126-yard hank of yarn, a pair of needles, and a set of beginner's patterns, including links to online video instructions.

  • Felt

    Felt

    Many sweaters we salvage are ill-suited for unwinding into yarn. For these, we re-purpose them into craft fabric by felting the sweaters and dividing them into pieces. The sky's the limit when it comes to what can be made with these new craft pieces. Contact us to place a bulk order.

  • Buttons

    Buttons

    We try to use every piece of the sweaters we find. And this includes buttons! At the moment, we only have buttons for sale at the HOPE Farmer's Market. As soon as we collect enough of them though, we'll start selling them online.
