Wow, Paintbox Yarns are celebrating the launch of their new Recycled T-Shirt yarn – a gorgeous addition to their fabulous range. Left over jersey fabric from European mills has been given another life as fabulous t-shirt yarn that you can use for knitting, crochet and macrame! Perfect for all kinds of homeware and accessories, there are 18 different colour groups to choose from – from Caramel shades to Middle Blues and Bold Pinks – all of these shades are created by recycling fabric so the shades will vary within a batch. This is recycling at its very best – there is no extra processing and no re-dyeing – no wasted water, just a fabulous t-shirt yarn for you to re-use!
Because of the nature of recycled jersey T shirt fabric, the yarn may vary in width from ball to ball and sometimes with some variation within the ball. Before you start your project: due the nature of recycled yarn, the shades within each color batch vary, and each image shown illustrates the variation of shades you might receive for each color group (not three balls of yarn). If your yarn shades aren’t what you dreamt they would be, you can send it back to us following our quibble free returns policy.
Save when you buy more!

Colour was nothing like what I expected. From a shade of turquoise what arrived was a dingy almost khaki green. A shame as it’s the only time I’ve been disappointed by Paintbox or Lovecrafts.

Misselling the green shades. It’s actually a dull dirty dishwater colour. Love Craft refused to agree that what they sent me is not what is on their website.
The pink is also not pink.
Customer –
Not the colour shown on the website. And customer services sent me the wrong thing twice. I gave up after that.

The yarn I gave purchased is excellent easy to use and crochet up perfectly

I bought 3 balls of different colours for a project and unfortunately the yarn in one ball was much thicker than the other 2 which has meant that my project hadn’t worked very well. I appreciate that the shades may vary but hadn’t realised that thickness of the yarn would be so variable and impact on my work.
