What is upcycled cotton yarn? This yarn is a blend of reclaimed cotton fibers from discarded garment scraps combined with a small amount of nylon made from the incredible RPET process of recycling plastic (PET) bottles into fiber.
Made in North Carolina, about 20 minutes from where we get this yarn, the 100% upcycled cotton blend is ‘plated’ (a stretch yarn behind the main knit) to give it stretch, but also retaining its shape. The cotton is heavy enough for outdoor activities but still incredibly breathable to keep your feet as fresh on hot Summer days hiking through the Catskills. We hope you like them as much as we do.
