More Reclaiming Yarn


Thrifting can be so satisfying sometimes.

 
I found this 100% Italian merino sweater for $1.00 at Salvation Army.


I use the power drill to wind a bobbin as I frog the ultra fine yarn.

These two are from the sleeve and a 1x1 rib cowl. The food scale I ordered from Amazon helps me estimate grams, and from there yards. These two weigh nearly the same.



I used a hand cranked ball winder to ply the two together. Now I'm ready to cast on. I'm beginning to think I'm really a spinner at heart!
