Hey y’all! In this video I’m out thrifting sweaters to turn into yarn, and I’m on the lookout for the good stuff—especially cotton. I’m talking through what I’m scanning for on the racks, why fiber content matters so much when you’re planning to unravel, and what makes a sweater a “yes” versus a hard pass. If you’ve ever wanted to try the whole thrifting-to-yarn thing but felt nervous about wasting money, I share the mindset I use so I can thrift smarter and come home with sweaters that are actually worth the work. I also chat about what I do after the thrift—how I like to keep my projects and yarn plans organized, and the kind of tools and shops I reach for when I’m winding, crocheting, and building out my stash with intention. If you love yarn hauls, WIPs, and turning secondhand finds into something totally new, this one is for you. And yes… finding cotton sweaters in the wild is a whole little thrill, so come celebrate the finds with me!
