With a chainette construction for strength and shape retention, this yarn brings both durability and softness to your stitches, making it ideal for bags, bucket hats and bold crochet creations.
Whether you’re searching where to buy recycled cotton yarn in Australia or just want yarn for crochet bags and homewares that holds its form and holds its own, Eco Bag delivers on strength, style and sustainability.
A Yarn with a Story
Crafted in Türkiye from 100% recycled materials, Eco Bag is certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and OEKO-TEX®, making it a mindful choice for eco-conscious makers. By transforming post-consumer textile waste into colourful, creative fibre, this yarn keeps materials out of landfill and gives them a brand-new purpose.
Its chainette structure (a tubular knit-like construction) gives it excellent stitch definition and reduces stretching over time, making it ideal for projects that need form, structure and a bit of grit. The self-striping and bold colourways make it especially fun to work with, adding energy to every stitch.
