At Knit Picks, we’re always on the lookout for ways to innovate and bring you yarns that not only inspire creativity but also make a positive impact on our planet. We’re thrilled to introduce Salvage, our newest addition to the yarn family. Salvage is a sustainably sourced cotton yarn that redefines traditional cotton by incorporating recycled denim fibers, giving new life to old materials and reducing waste.
A New Chapter for Denim
The journey of Salvage begins with something as simple as an old pair of jeans. Instead of ending up in a landfill, these jeans are collected and transformed through a meticulous process. First, the jeans are stripped of their metal parts—zippers, buttons, and rivets. Then, they are broken down into fibers using specialized machinery. These reclaimed fibers are then spun into fresh yarn, ready to be transformed once again, this time into your next knitting or crochet project.
Unique Texture and Color Variations
One of the standout features of Salvage is its uniquely rustic texture. The incorporation of recycled fibers gives this yarn a distinct character, with each skein carrying subtle variations that tell the story of its past life. As a result, the final composition and color of Salvage may vary slightly from one lot to another, making each project truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re crafting lightweight garments, summer shawls, or breezy accessories, Salvage ensures that your creations will have a unique, artisanal touch.
Eco-Friendly and Versatile
Salvage isn’t just about recycling; it’s about reimagining what cotton yarn can be. This eco-friendly yarn offers a versatile range of colors, all of which are derived from the original denim, giving them a natural, earthy appeal. The yarn’s lightness makes it ideal for warm-weather projects, allowing you to create comfortable garments and accessories that are perfect for summer.
