i've decided to recycle a sweater that i absolutely LOVED...until it shrank when it "accidentally" got dried in the dryer. it's 40% merino wool, 30% viscose, 20% angora rabbit hair, and 10% cashmere. i'm going to try to make some longies and/or soakers with this wool -- i've got QUITE A BIT! the pictures make it look smaller than what i actually have.

here's to a new project!!! (and ps. my vacuum cleaner is broken.)

the original sweater...

...cut up in pieces...


...then the unraveled yarn put into balls.
