Unraveling the Waste: A Peek Inside Etsy
Even old sweaters deserve a second chance. That’s the thinking behind the community of knitters that forms a part of the oh-so-addictive Etsy, which sells accessories made from the reclaimed yarn of old garments.
In knitwear, you’ll find that many of the headbands, bags, gloves and baby wear are all produced from 100% reclaimed materials. You’d never think used when looking at a one-of-a-kind purse with original embroidery and felt appliques ($70 at Etsy). The artist who did the handiwork even points out it was crafted in a "smoke free studio.
Get addicted to Etsy to buy or sell fabulous knitwear.
