Introducing our fabulously different Newspaper Yarn, handcrafted from recycled newspapers.
This chunky and hand-twisted paper yarn is perfect for weaving, basket weaving, coiling, fibre arts, knitting, crochet, and gift wrapping projects.
Easy to use, pliable and clean our Newspaper yarn does not leave ink residue on your hands.
Crafted by co-ops in India, this unusual yarn is hand spun on a drop spindle, ensuring a unique and sustainable product.
We recommend a light coating with clear spray lacquer to preserve its clean and ethical finish.
Our Newspaper Yarn is not only a unique creative choice but supports small groups of artisans in marginalised communities, providing a living wage.
