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.
I love this yarn! Knits quickly, no splitting and it's lightweight. I'm making the sweater from the front of the Remix pattern book for my grandson and it's turning out beautiful. It is a bit expensive, but I would definitely purchase it again.
