Introducing our fabulously different Newspaper Yarn, handcrafted from upcycled newspapers.
This chunky and hand-twisted paper yarn is perfect for weaving, basket weaving, coiling, fibre arts and gift wrapping projects. It has a little bit of stiffness. Try chunky knitting or crochet with a gentle hand.
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 finish.
Our Newspaper Yarn is not only a unique creative choice but supports small groups of artisans in marginalised communities, providing a living wage.
