“WHAT’S THE STORY?
From discarded plastic bottles — to beautiful, lasting knitwear. Our squishy New Wave Yarn is on a mission, turning the planet’s plastic pollution into your next project.
We’ve packed 3 whole recycled plastic bottles into each ball of New Wave Yarn.
Recycled, sustainable do-good yarn ready to take on your next knitting or crochet project so you can reach eco-conscious highs. Let’s make waves and save our seas!
Be a #changemaker
Because our New Wave yarn contains recycled plastics, we recommend washing it in a GUPPYFRIEND bag. These help to reduce the amount of pesky microplastics entering the water stream and therefore our lovely oceans and are available to buy here.“
