Description

A soft yet firm 2-ply worsted weight yarn for knitting, weaving and crochet, Vanguardia is made from used clothing with a process that does not require water or dyes. Since it is made from recycled clothing, the yarn does not easily fade with time, washing or exposure to sunlight.

Every ball of yarn reduces textile waste and supports jobs in Chile, including for women leaving the prison system.

Note: Each colour batch is unique and stock is limited. We recommend you buy all the balls of yarn you need to ensure you can complete your project. Being made from recycled clothing, the fibre is not hypoallergenic.

Crochet hooks: 4 - 5 mm
Knitting needles: 3 - 5 mm
Gauge (10 cm): 16 stitches x 23 rows
