Description

A soft yet firm 2-ply bulky weight yarn for knitting, weaving and crochet, Rústica 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 cone 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 cones you need to ensure you can complete your project. Being made from recycled clothing, the fibre is not hypoallergenic.

Crochet hooks: 7 - 9 mm
Knitting needles: 6 - 8 mm
Gauge (10 cm): 13 stitches x 17 rows

Sustainability Strengths & Weaknesses

All purchases impact the planet and its people. Instead of ignoring that, we help you weigh up the pros and cons.

✔ Well-known and established producer with an excellent reputation for sustainability.

✔ No water or dyes used in their processes.

✔ Made from recycled clothing, reducing textile waste.

✔ Ecocitex provides employment to women leaving the prison system, assisting in social reintegration.

✘ Transported from Chile to Australia (contributing to CO2 emissions).

✘ Likely contains some synthetic fibre content which may release microplastics (we recommend only washing when genuinely required and washing gently to reduce this impact; we note that being recycled, any synthetic content would have likely still reached the environment regardless).
