Reclaim and Reuse Yarn from those ‘Not Quite Right’ Hand Knits| Ep 8

Описание: Welcome to Episode 8 of Stephanie’sThreads, a knitting, crochet and handmade textile podcast focused on thoughtful making, practical craft solutions, and intentional handmade living.

In this episode, I'm sharing a recent yarn adventure. I unraveled five hand knits to reclaim the yarn. I unraveled a cowl and four sweaters in order to reuse yarn that I love from garments which either did not fit or that I did not enjoy wearing.

I explain how I successfully unraveled the garments, wound and tied the yarn, soaked the yarn to release the memory of the prior stitches and readied the yarn to use for new garments.

My handmade garments are created slowly and intentionally, honoring the beauty of handmade textiles and the quiet rhythm of making by hand.

If you love knitting podcasts, winter knitting projects, slow craft, fiber art, and cozy studio moments, you’re in the right place.
