made in Italy

Tweed Recycled is a 100% recycled yarn. The yarn is made from both waste from yarn production and garments that have been broken down into fibers again.

Wool is not only insulating, but also conducts moisture away from the body and retains warmth, even when damp. Cashmere has many characteristics in common with other wools. It is light and warm, and also warms when it is damp. One of the special things about cashmere is its strength combined with softness and shine.

  • sandnes garn

    The largest producer of hand-knitting yarn in Northern Europe, Sandnes Garn's mill is both one of the oldest, and most up-to-date, spinning factories still running. Their focus is on taking good care of everyone involved in the production of their yarn, both animal and human, and they produce some of the most reliable yarns available on the market today.

  • wool

    Wool is a textile fibre produced by the shearing of sheep. The breed of the sheep, where it was raised, and how the fibre was treated after shearing can all affect the final characteristics of wool. While some is quite harsh and rough, other wool can be luxuriously soft and squishy. As a fibre, wool is very good at trapping heat, and is one of the few fibres that stays warm even when wet.

  • cashmere

    Cashmere is a soft, warm, and luxurious fibre that comes from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It's used to make yarn, textiles, and clothing. Like many very soft fibres, it is often mixed with other materials to increase durability.

  • mulesing free

    Mulesing is a controversial farming practice used, predominantly in Australia, to prevent the parasidic infection flystrike. While mulesing prevents infection, it is a very painful procedure for the animal to endure, and more humane alternatives exist. This practice is banned in many areas of the world. If a yarn is marked as mulesing free, that means that no animals were treated this way during the production of the yarn.
