Publisher's Synopsis
With spring cleaning on everyone's minds, we are more conscious than ever about the things we own. Many times, we are often left wondering what to do with clothes that no longer fit or have already seen their share of wear and tear.
This useful compendium will show you how to turn old and unwanted textiles into usable and beautiful objects. Every pattern in this collection uses a different textile ranging from denim to natural raffia and each design illustrates how innovative transformation can create contemporary knits on a next-to-nothing budget. All the projects are aimed to inspire the thrifty knitter to look with new vigor at the items we discard as well as introducing a range of alternative materials to knit with. Discover the durability of plarn (plastic yarn), the adaptability of parcel string, and the rich rewards of recycling.
