Do you also value sustainable initiatives? We have put together a selection of yarn qualities that contain recycled yarn. This initiative is important to us as we want to contribute to a more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient textile industry. We believe that small changes can make a big difference for the environment and for our common future.
With our selection of yarns made with recycled materials, you have the opportunity to choose products that are better for both you and the environment. Every time you choose recycled yarn, you support a responsible industrial policy that reduces waste and preserves natural resources. It's a choice that can make an important difference.
What is recycled yarn?
Recycled yarn is a sustainable alternative to traditional yarn. It is made by reusing textile waste and other materials, such as cotton, wool, nylon and polyester. The goal of recycled yarn is to reduce the amount of waste and reduce the need for new raw materials. This saves resources and reduces the environmental impact of the textile industry.
One of the biggest benefits of recycled yarn is that it helps reduce waste. When materials are recycled, their lifespan is extended and they are given a new lease of life instead of being discarded. This leads to a more sustainable production cycle and reduces the overall environmental impact. Furthermore, the production of recycled yarn often requires less water and energy. This is especially true for synthetic fibers such as polyester. Recycled yarn is therefore a more resource-efficient choice.
Recycled yarn – Versatility and quality
Recycled yarn is incredibly versatile and comes in many different qualities. It ranges from lightweight cotton to soft wool blends and durable synthetic yarns. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of projects, from clothing and accessories to home textiles.
Many recycled yarns have environmental certifications such as the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). GRS is a voluntary product standard that tracks and verifies the content of recycled materials in a finished product. The certification ensures that the yarn is produced under strict environmental, social and chemical standards. GRS gives brands a tool for accurate labeling and promotes innovation in the use of recycled materials. The goal is to create greater transparency in the supply chain and provide consumers with better information. The certification also aims to increase the use of recycled materials and reduce the harm caused by the production process. Read more about GRS certification at SCS Global Services.
Cashmere Soft Touch – Where sustainability meets luxury
Our Cashmere Soft Touch yarn is the result of our dedication to combining sustainability with luxurious yarn quality. This yarn contains recycled polyamide and wool, of which a portion of the wool is recycled. By using 51% GRS certified materials, we ensure that each ball of yarn not only reduces waste. They also support more responsible and environmentally friendly production.
The yarn's softness and versatile thickness make it ideal for a wide range of creative projects, such as cozy sweaters and warm blankets. You can also choose to create the classic Chunky Mouliné Cardigan . This cardigan is not just a project; it's an opportunity to explore your creativity. When you knit with our special yarn combination, you achieve a harmonious balance between comfort and elegance.
We have knitted this creation in 1 thread Cashmere Soft Touch, which gives a softness that hugs the skin. If you want a more fluffy look, you can add our Dandelion Lace as a follower thread. This not only gives a wonderful look, but also maintains the knitting tension, so you can create the look you want. This beautiful cardigan is knitted from the top down, which makes the construction both exciting and simple. An interesting feature of the design is the vertical rib along the front edges and the v-neck, which is knitted directly into the cardigan. This method adds both structure and elegance to your work.
Cotton Cloud – Recycled polyamide and cotton
Our Cotton Cloud yarn contains recycled polyamide, which gives the yarn extra durability and stretch. Recycled polyamide helps reduce waste and reduces the consumption of new raw materials. Polyamide is known for its durability and elasticity, making the yarn ideal for projects that require both strength and flexibility.
The yarn is a perfect combination of softness and strength, making it ideal for everything from socks to cardigans. The cotton in the yarn also makes it great for lighter, breathable summer projects. A good example is the beautiful Camisole Top, which with its asymmetrical design and modern color blocks is ideal for hot summer days.
