Thoughtful Rose Supply Luxury yarns reclaimed from unwanted sweaters. Affordable and sustainable! Visit my shop: www.etsy.com/shop/thoughtfulrosesupply Thanks for your support!

Thoughtful Rose Supply is your source for luxury yarns salvaged from discarded sweaters. I scour local thrift stores for gently used sweaters made from quality yarns, unravel them, skein the yarn, carefully wash and sanitize the skeins, measure and tag them, photograph them, and list them in my Etsy shop. It's a lot of work, but it feels good to be salvaging these beautiful fibers that might other

wise end up in landfills, or be sent to the local textile recycling plant to be turned into rags! I've been selling my recycled yarn on Etsy for three years now, and have built a reputation for quality work and fast shipping.

A bitter cold front has come through. I enjoyed taking a few moments to sit by the window with a pile of cozy cashmere and wool sweaters on my lap, taking them apart at the seams while watching the birds on our back patio.

The sweaters I'm disassembling were knit in sections and then assembled with chain stitch (second photo); taking them apart is a matter of finding the ends of the chain stitch and "unzipping" them--very satisfying!

Once taken apart into sections, I move to my skein winder where I unravel the yarn directly into hanks. More on that another time. Perhaps if I get a little tripod for my phone, I can film myself at work. I tend to be slow to adopt new technology, and camera shy to boot, but I'll get there!

Day one of 2026. I spent the day working on house projects at our little cottage in Galveston, wrapping up just in time to walk to the beach and catch the sunset with my husband and three little ones. Hopefully before bedtime I'll have at least a few minutes to unravel some especially "sticky" pink cashmere. A nice first day of the year!

On my goal list for the year: reviving this long-dormant "yarn account." Though I've been quiet on social media, I'm still actively unraveling and listing recycled yarn. My yarn shop on Etsy just celebrated its fifteenth birthday! Not to toot my own horn, but I think it's safe to say I'm a recycled yarn expert at this point, and I look forward to sharing more about it with anyone who might be interested. Stay tuned!
