Part 2 - Spinning Recycled Yarn: How to Spin Umbrella Yarn

2/13/2012

2 Comments

 
There are still so many different types of recycled yarn yet to be discovered, but I never would have thought that umbrella would end up to be one of them.

Let's start from the beginning - typically when an umbrella is no longer able to serve it's original purpose, it gets discarded.  

Very unfortunate, but it's true ..............
 
OR IS IT???

Not for  Eva of Mademoiselle Chaos

Eva very creatively shows us how to repurpose a dysfunctional umbrella by spinning it into yarn. 

How clever is that but more importantly, look how beautiful it is.....

i put absolutely nothing (creative) beyond Mme. Chaos. she's quite the creative spirit. this is a fantastic idea. the fabric is so durable that it would be a shame to simply trash it. i imagine someone will come up with ideas for the metal spines and the wooden/plastic handle too!
congrats.

Hi JD - thank you so much for stopping by and reading the update about Eva and whole heartedly agree with you. When I discovered her blog update on recycling an umbrella, I wanted to do the 'v8 clunk on my head' because why didn't I think of that .....

We will just have to sit back and see how creative someone can be with the other left over pieces of the umbrella...

p.s. I love your website: http://craftgossip.com/
