Unravelings: Part Two~Bath Time!

When we first left our recycled sweater, we had accumulated several skeins of usable, albeit curly, yarn.

Unravelings: How To Unravel A Sweater For Its Yarn

It came to my attention that a lot of my readers had never considered using store bought sweaters, bought on the cheap, in order to augment their stashes. Great finds at thrift stores and Goodwill means that you can get a yarn with cashmere in it, for a fraction of the cost of just buying the yarn.

Thrift is the name of the game for this. But, you have to wonder, is Unraveling right for you?

Should I Unravel?

• Are you patient? Unraveling takes time and effort, and is not for the faint of heart.
• Do you have experience with sweater construction? It's not necessary, but certainly helps.
• Are you looking for a project that helps you be thrifty and put old sweaters to good use?

If you fit into those categories, then read on.
