Spring Thrifting
It’s getting warm out, which means people are cleaning out their closets! The thrift stores are just booming with sweaters right about now. I really shouldn’t be looking for more because of my diet, but I just hate the thought of all that lovely yarn going to waste. I want to see what everyone is finding!!
I’m working on unraveling a bright violet 100% cashmere sweater right now. The plies keep snapping…cashmere is really soft, but it’s also pretty fragile. Luckily the wet-felted joins are practically invisible, so it doesn’t hurt the consistency of the yarn. I usually ply at least 2 strands together after unraveling it to make it a little stronger before use or sale. Really pretty color, but very frustrating to work with. After this I think I’ll go with a nice, bulky, strong sweater that will unravel quickly.
