WHAT’S HER STORY?
Want to knit your bit to combat climate change? So does Lil’ Heal the Wool. With every waste-busting ball we’re closing the loop, repurposing excess fibres that would otherwise be lost in the spinning and dyeing process. We swoop in, sweep ‘em up, and re-spin to create a unique, eco-friendly, 100% upcycled yarn that’s a dream to stitch.
80 metres/ 87 yards per 100-gram roll. ARAN/WORSTED
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
These upcycled skeins are made from leftover tops and waste generated whilst spinning yarn in the supplier’s own factory over in Peru. It’s then grouped into similar colours and spun into the unique, limited edition yarn you know and love.
Due to the upcycled nature of this yarn, we can't guarantee that the same colours will be back in stock. Please make sure you have enough to complete your project!
