My last post was about deconstructing a thrift shop find. My first test subject, a 100% cotton sweater. It has provided me with a good amount of yarn to play with as you can see in the photo below.
I dyed some of it a sort of, mottled, dark, Denim-y blue and left the rest that natural cream colour.
It is lovely to work with, soft to the touch with such wonderful drape.
here is a peek at how it is currently looking on my needles
I am rather surprised at the amount of yarn I managed to reclaim. (what you see in the bin in the top photo along with what I have already knit)......it appears that I will have enough for a couple of projects

And yet "she" continues to amaze her blog friends! Actually, quite resourceful and very nice project!
Well, I'm impressed - love the thought of doing it - in fact, I think I remember my Gran.dma doing this ,but she remitted with crinkly wool! Love that you dye it & give it a new lease on life. You are inspiring -
That should read 'knitted'
Wow what a huge supply of yarn you were able to reclaim. Like your dyed bit also. Lovely drape to what you are knitting. Who knew? Happy Knitting...
