Recycled Cotton - A New Yarn from Our New Catalog
Beautiful Colors, Good for the Earth
|
|
|
|
|
|
Soft, beautiful Recycled Cotton is perfect for baby clothes, lightweight garments, and even washcloths. Spun from cotton fabric pieces that would otherwise be discarded when fabric is cut for tee-shirts, our Recycled Cotton yarn reduces waste and conserves resources. We have created exclusive shades by blending colors of pre-sorted fabric clippings -- reducing the amount of dyeing needed to produce the final yarn -- to create beautiful, unique heathers and tweeds. Click here to see all of the colors and yarn details! |

Cashmere: A Touch of Luxury
A Story by Michelle Edwards
|
|
|
|
I've come to cashmere late in my life. My high school wardrobe consisted of flannel shirts, blue jeans, and overalls -- no twin sets, no cashmere sweaters, just hooded sweatshirts. It's my oldest daughter, Meera, who has tried to teach me about cashmere and helped me understand her reverence for it. For years she's hunted down old cashmere sweaters, salvaging them; she resizes and remakes them into her own creations. Cashmere is the top fiber for my girl. So when Lion Brand announced its new LB Collection Cashmere, a 100% cashmere yarn, I knew I had to try it. I had to experience first hand as a knitter and as Meera's mother, what makes this wool -- spun from the second undercoat of goats -- elevated above all others, precious and prized. |
