Hey y’all, I’m Cosetta, and in this video I’m doing one of my favorite kinds of crafty thrifting—turning a thrifted sweater into yarn! If you’ve ever looked at a sweater on a rack and thought, “That could be a whole project,” this is for you. I’m chatting through what I’m looking for when I thrift (fiber content, construction, and whether it’s worth the effort), and how I go from sweater to usable yarn for crochet. I also share some of the real-life, practical takeaways—like why some sweaters unravel beautifully and some are a hot mess, how I handle the yarn once it’s reclaimed, and what I like to do to get it ready for a project. If you’re into yarn hauls, WIPs, and stretching your budget while still getting gorgeous yarn to work with, you’ll feel right at home. And if you want more of this, I’ve got a whole thrifting-to-yarn playlist linked so you can binge the process with me.
