Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:42:10 +0000 http://craftingagreenworld.com/?p=820#comment-21202 I am interested in finding out if yarn from old sweaters can be re-spun. Is there someone who can help me on this? I am just starting to spin wool on a drop spindle and love it! I am a knitter since age 5 ( I am in my early 50's now) I don't know why I didn't try spinning before. I also just went and found several sweaters at my local Good Will store and have just unraveled one tonight. I can't wait to get started on my new projects - wool felted purses! Any comments on felting would be greatly appreciated. I am interested in finding out if yarn from old sweaters can be re-spun. Is there someone who can help me on this?

Maybe for people with vegan diets but not vegan lifestyles.
