Recycled silk yarn is the by-product of colorful saris
that women wear in South Asia from the Himalayas in
Nepal. It is the loose ends of saris collected from
industrial mills in India that is hand spun into yarn in
Nepal. The vibrant colors and unique texture of
these silk fibers and silk yarn are inspirational to
designers, knitters, and artisans. The popularity of
recycled silk yarn has extended beyond Nepal and
India and has created an empowering cottage
industry primarily benefiting women.
The company works with women's development
groups in Nepal to produce this unique yarn and
other hand knitted silk yarn products. Women make
this yarn and various knitwear in their homes. This
work provides additional income to support and
improve their family earnings.
The place for all your knitting, crochet, and spinning supplies.
