December 2017

The Upcycle Sweater Challenge was kicked off at the December meeting held at the Lander Public Library. Members who wished to take part in the challenge brought a wrapped wool sweater. Members selected a package and the challenge officially began. Members have until June 1, 2018 to make something with the sweater or the reclaimed yarn.

Reclaiming Wool - March Program

Nancy S. introduced the concept of reclaiming wool from old or thrift
shop sweaters at the March meeting. Members were encouraged to look
for non-serged seams. She also explained how to make a simple niddy noddy
out of PVC pipe. Nancy uses the reclaimed wool to knit items for charities.

Directions for making and using the Niddy Noddy can be found on this previous post.
