 Handspun Recycled Newspaper Yarn
Handspun Recycled Newspaper Yarn
Recently a commenter asked what they could do with all the old newspapers they had piling up. With enough time, patience, and newspapers you can create newspaper yarn. From the design studios of Greetje van Tiem and her “Indruk” project she can purportedly spins 20yds of “yarn” from a sheet of old newspaper. Include steps on how to make it. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

I'm beginning to think you can create yarn out of just about anything. Old plastic bags, and now, newspaper. Mercifully, I have enough projects on my plate right now not to be tempted to try this...though I am.

I can't imagine having time to do this, but it looks interesting and would definitely be a conversation piece when knitted or crocheted into something useful. I wonder if these could be dyed?

If more people found efficient ways to recycle things into products like this it would do alot for our environment.

I'm going to try it, I think. You don't have to do it all at once. So in the evenings, watching TV, this is a good project.

Newspaper-knitters- Beware! You're going to have tons of newsprint on your fingers... but there's nothing like the smell of ink!

I would hate to think what a rainstorm would do to anything knitted with this yarn...
