Taking it apart.
All the pieces.

Project: Take apart a sweater that I never wear, rehank the yarn, wash it and waa-la! I recovered about 1200 yards of a 50/50 wool alpaca from Cascade Yarns called Lana D'Oro. This is straight enough to knit with as is or maybe I'll dye it and then knit it. We do have a dye day coming up in March...

As they said in the WWII years, "Use it up! Wear it out! Make it do, or do Without!!!" A sterling eggzample. Go girl!
Recycling at its finest. Truly an act to be admired.
So satisfying to replace an unloved sweater with a luscious pile o' yarn. Nice job!
