Last summer, we introduced you to the incredible cotton yarns of Rosários 4, but one didn’t show up until fall. After crossing the Atlantic three times, this spring is its time to shine: meet Re-Use!
Re-use is a DK-weight yarn made from 95% cotton and 5% other fibres, all from recycled denim. It is also certified vegan! This yarn has a fun, tweedy effect and maintains excellent stitch definition over time. It’s great for summer tops, hats, bags, and baby blankets.
