Jersey Be Good Yarn Details

WHAT’S HER STORY?
This upcycled yarn is made from fabric officuts swept up in Turkish t-shirt factories. Why send them off to a landfill when we can work with the locals to turn them into our Jersey Be Good yarn that you can knit AND crochet with?

Please note: Due to the popularity of Jersey Be Good, colours can sell out quickly. Depending on the exact fabric scraps the yarn is made from, the exact colour, feel and thickness of the yarn can vary. Keep this in mind for larger projects. Also, the way we package this yarn is changing, it will no longer come wound onto cones (as shown in some of our photos).

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KNIT WITH?
Fun to knit - great for anyone who wants to try something new and different. Happiness guaranteed.

WHAT CAN I MAKE?
This yarn is great for more substantial, sculptural pieces. We love using it for bags and accessories.

WORKS WELL WITH...
Garter Stitch, Woven Stitch, Linen Stitch, single crochet, double crochet
