Tweed DK yarn and the coloured bits are made from HHF's own hand-dyed waste - the ties that are taken off the hand dyed skeins. They are saved very diligently--it's a total labor of love!

They have been collecting the ties for a while and found a mill that could process them, which means re-carding them, blending and spinning into yarn again. I love how neutral it is with a colourful bit here and there. It's just calling for sweaters and cardigans!

HHF is always looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and to minimize waste. In addition to thread waste, they are using recycled wool, making 50% of the total content recycled. We love the result! It's soft, yet wooly, non-superwash and it blooms beautifully after washing.
