Looking for recycled wool in Australia that combines sustainability, style and stitch definition?
 
Recycled Tweed is a timeless DK-weight (8ply) yarn spun from a recycled wool blend, made for makers who love texture, colour and a planet-friendly twist.
 
Crafted in Türkiye from 40% recycled wool, 40% recycled polyester and 20% recycled acrylic, Recycled Tweed is light, durable and full of character. Each 100g skein gives you a generous 350 metres of rustic, tweedy yarn with classic flecks of colour that bring depth to every stitch.
 
Whether you’re knitting a snuggly jumper, crocheting a textured beanie or weaving a rustic wall hanging, Recycled Tweed is the perfect balance of tradition and innovation, a yarn with a conscience and a whole lot of charm.
 
At Fancy Yarns Australia, we’re passionate about fibres that tread lightly and feel beautiful to work with. If you’ve been wondering where to buy recycled wool in Australia that delivers on sustainability and style, Recycled Tweed is a staple for your eco-conscious stash.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Recycled Tweed is a yarn born from resourcefulness. Made entirely from post-consumer and post-industrial fibres, including garments, offcuts and mill waste, this yarn proves that discarded fibres can be reborn into something beautiful.
 
Its tweedy finish pays homage to traditional wool-spun textures, while its recycled composition gives it a modern, ethical edge.
 
Spun in Türkiye, every skein carries with it a commitment to circularity, craftsmanship and considered creation.
 
Why You’ll Love It
 
Recycled Tweed is soft, strong and full of rustic personality, a yarn that’s just as lovely to look at as it is to stitch with.
 
You’ll love:
The flecked tweed finish that adds depth to plain patterns
The soft-but-sturdy feel that wears well over time
The beautiful colour palette, from earthy neutrals to rich jewel tones
The knowledge that you’re making something beautiful and sustainable
 
It’s a go-to for garments, accessories and classic projects with an eco twist.
 
Spun with Purpose
 
Recycled Tweed is about heritage reimagined. By transforming waste into a wearable, workable yarn, it gives pre-loved fibres a second life while reducing the need for virgin materials.
