How are you greening your knitting? Reducing doesn’t seem like much fun, and reusing generally means you’ve had to rip out a failing project, a painful part of any knitter’s process. Enter Remix, a 100% recycled Berroco yarn made using a low-impact manufacturing process patented in France.

Garments and high-quality commercially knit fabric panels left over from the ready-to-wear industry are collected across Europe and sorted by fiber, then color. Because these pieces are pre-dyed, there is no need to dye them again, which saves water and prevents water pollution. Instead, colors are created by carefully blending garnetted fibers. Garnetted fiber results from shredding old textiles to make a new, fleece-like fiber ready to be spun into new yarn.

Remix uses a soft, comfortable blend of nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk, and linen. A tweedy, rustic look makes these yarns ideal candidates for casual knits, and their machine washability ensures that any garment will be low-maintenance and hard-wearing. The original Remix comes in an abundant 216-yard ball and knits to a worsted weight gauge. Finished garments are immediately cozy, with the feeling of well-loved jeans or your favorite old T-shirt.
