It's always a huge saving with recycled yarn. I did a lot of ripping and winding when I was a little girl growing up in China.

This is reminding me how much fun they are. I love the idea of plying the recycled yarn (not that I love the idea of plying all that much on its own). I've passed up sweaters in the past because it looked like the yarn I'd get would be too thin for anything but lace. <br /><br />I've tried the Jade Sapphire stuff - spent an entire gift certificate on 2 skeins at Xmas. I made a cowl and ohmygod, if you ever scrape together the cash, it's totally worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-58039117101655297582012-07-28T03:35:40.229-04:002012-07-28T03:35:40.229-04:00alright, you've convinced me. xD
