Introducing our Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon yarn, a bold and sustainable choice for fibre artists looking to make a statement with their projects. This super chunky yarn is crafted from a minimum of 97% recycled silk, offering rich textures and vibrant colours that bring a unique character to every creation. Each 100g skein provides approximately 50 metres of super chunky-weight ribbon yarn, perfect for weaving, knitting, crocheting, and more. Whether you're crafting accessories, bags or homewares, this yarn adds a distinct and luxurious feel to your work.
 
Handmade in India by a women’s cooperative, this yarn not only provides a creative outlet but also supports a larger social mission. The cooperative empowers rural Indian women by giving them the opportunity to earn a fair and living wage while working from home. This allows the artisans to care for their families, contribute to their communities and gain financial independence - all from the comfort of their own homes.
 
The cooperative also champions education by offering literacy and numeracy programs to artisans and their families. The initiative provides basic skills like reading, writing and maths, as well as essential knowledge on health, hygiene and environmental issues. For the poorest members of the community, books and notebooks are provided free of charge. The cooperative further assists artisans by helping them complete the necessary paperwork to obtain an officially recognised Handloom Weavers Card, a key step in preserving traditional skills and cultural heritage.
 
With its super chunky weight and silky texture, the Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon yarn is ideal for a variety of fibre art projects. Whether you're weaving a bold wall hanging or knitting a statement accessory, this yarn offers a versatile and striking option. It can be used to craft bags, scarves, homewares and more, giving each piece a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
 
Choosing Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon yarn means embracing both sustainability and ethical production. Every skein tells the story of its maker and the vibrant sari materials repurposed into something beautiful. Add this unique yarn to your collection and elevate your projects with texture, colour and a meaningful impact.
