Customer Reviews
Very pleased with the product and delivery Thank you so much.
Love the rustic look of this yarn.
Can’t wait to start some projects with this amazing newspaper yarn . It will be interesting to test it and see what its limits are
I am so pleased with this product. I am planning to use this recycled newspaper yarn for hair on a wooden puppet that I am designing and building. It is going to perfect for this character. The yarn is high quality and came packaged in a lovely muslin bag. Considering it came all the way from Australia to New York, the arrival was quite prompt. I will definitely order from this company again! I will send a photo when the puppet is complete.
I love the look and feel of the newspaper yarn and can't wait to use it in an art piece.
