It is amazing what can be done with waste, and this gorgeous new yarn from Rowan proves the point.
Made from a mix of silk, cotton and viscose this extraordinary yarn has the look of cotton with a marbled colouring and shiny flecks of silk peeping out between the strans.
Knitted up it is soft to touch and as gentle as the cotton heads that it once was escended from;  and to think it is made entirely from waste! 
Comes in 50g balls and knits up as a standard dk yarn, though as usual there is a book!

Rowans The Purelife Recycled Collection is a collection of new designs created to show off this new yarn at it's best...., well worth a look, it's to die for!
