Berroco Remix - the embodiment of reduce, reuse and recycle! This 100% recycled Berroco yarn is 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 from 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 is the result of shredding old textiles to make a new, fleece-like fiber that is ready to be spun into a new yarn.
Berroco Remix, Remix Light and Remix Chunky use a soft, comfortable blend of 100% recycled nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk and linen. A tweedy, rustic look makes these yarns ideal for casual knits, and their machine washability means any project will be low maintenance and hard-wearing. Finished garments are immediately cozy, with the feeling of well-loved jeans or your favorite old tee-shirt. Green knitting at its very best!
