Knit’s Recycled – Wendy brand
A super chunky yarn completely made by recycled plastic bottles, at least 20 are used to make each ball. This super chunky yarn is super soft and just not what you would expect from a yarn made this way. Using this you know you are being kind on the environment.

Used, unwanted and abandoned plastic is such a big problem now that every little step we can take to reduce our use of it in the first place, or to recycle/re-use it in some way is vital in our stewardship of God’s earth – I bet we can all do something to help.
