Recycled Silk

What happens when old saris die...

scarf
They become yarn.

Yes, I said yarn.

The saris are ripped apart, the fibres are seperated, and then spun back into a single ply yarn. What is produced is a slightly slubby, aran weight yarn full of vivid colours. And what was once and old, worn, piece of clothing gets a new lease on life as a handknit garment.
