New Life Wool is a knitting yarn that reflects modern fashion trends and a sustainable approach to consumption. New Life Wool is made from recycled wool and reinforced with a small amount of recycled synthetic fiber to give the yarn the shape and strength it needs. Reaching to save the earth's resources, to change the superficial attitude towards excessive thoughtless consumption, more and more manufacturers and well-known brands are starting to use yarns and materials made from recycled fibers. New Life Wool yarns are made from wool products that are not used anymore, thus aiming to give new life to at least part of what is no longer needed by humans. This yarn are pleasant, presented in a beautiful shades with a tweed effect. When knitted, the garments are a little bit harder than knitted from new wool threads, but after washing the knitwork, it softens significantly. It is not merino wool, but it does not have a sharper bite feeling, although very sensitive people can feel “the wool” in the garments from New Life Wool. They are suitable for all kind of knitwear: sweaters, vests, hats, scarves, etc. i.e. Thanks to the synthetics in the yarn, these yarns can be used to knit cosy and strong socks. New Life yarn colours blend beautifully together and can create multi-colored or patterned knits. New Life Wool is a clever choice for your knitting.
