Sporty Sweater
This top is perfect for all shapes,sizes and sexes. It’s perfect for every casual occasion and, best of all, it’s made from recycled fibers!
Go Green is a new yarn made from recycled cotton and acrylic fibers. The yarn lofts a great deal when washed so we knit it loosely, as with 100% cotton.It is quite stable after its initial shrinkage and it does not bias. The colors I have tried so far do not bleed at all. And it feels like 100% cotton on the skin. I have noticed some gauge
variation between the colors.2 cones are required. Hems and trim
are all knitted in color 1. Stripe pattern is 18 rows color 2, 12 rows color 1 and is repeated throughout the knit-
ting. whatever else is taking place.This sweater was designed several years ago when Go Green was brand new but the yarn is still available on Etsy. It is quite similar to a Red Heart yarn that is also made from recycled fibers. I believe that both are made from the trimmings
produced when manufacturing cotton T-shirts!
