    Upcycle- lovely cotton yarn

    Truly upcycle! I bought a name brand but out of date 100% cotton sweater at the thrift store, brought it home, washed it and pulled it apart. the yarn makes the best dishcloths ever!

    Cora, what a green idea! How do you unravel it? Do you have a lot of short pieces or does it come off in long lengths?

    I just unpicked the stitching at the sides of the sweater and arms and then found a thread and unraveled it. If it's all one colour it should be one peice or at least very long peices.
