Cool yarn Recycling idea

yarn from old newspapers

Posted Fri Feb 15, 2008 9:56AM by Carrie Wood

I just ran across this site via internet gossip and found it so fascinating that I had to share a quick link to it.  The designer is using old newspapers to spin into yarn for household items such as a floor mat, curtains, even an ottoman!!  A great recycling idea and while I'm not sold on the idea of absorbing tons of ink through my fingers while spinning it, I think her results and the product examples shown are fabulous!!
