Made from 100% recycled fibers, this machine washable yarn is an exciting transeasonal blend that is comfortable in every way. Read the full description...
...which is crazy because I hate knitting with cotton and cotton blend yarns. There's literally nothing about this yarn that I should like, and yet I'm finishing up my fourth project with it. It makes a lovely fabric, with beautiful drape, is easy on the hands while working with it, and is easy to care for. It's a good weight, suitable for all but the most extreme temperatures. And the colors are all nice heathery tones I detest pink, but even the pinks are nice. It has a slightly tweedy appearance, and the fiber content yields a smooth, yet textural, surface.
It's great for simple stockinette or garter stitch and is fine for simple lace patterns. I don't think it would be suitable for a complex lace, but YMMV. I haven't tried it with cables while I suspect that it would show the detail okay, I doubt it would be my first choice.
4 stars only because I haven't washed it yet! Using it for the Sawtelle Adult free pattern smooth in the hand, and crisp stitches at gauge. A bit pricey, but I am enjoying working with this yarn, and feeling green as well :
I am NOT a fan of cotton yarns. They always hurt my hands. But I've knit two sweaters with Remix. It makes a besutiful fabric, one that definitely looks like cotton, but it doesn't knit like cotton.
I didn't know what to expect from a recycled yarn but I have loved every minute of knitting with this. It is very soft, easy to handle, no unravelling and no knotting. I will definitely buy it again.
