Over the past few years, the world is experiencing a tremendous growth in its awareness towards recycling and sustainability, and the yarn and fiber industries are changing and evolving accordingly. This results in a wave of new fibers and fiber blends, which are made out of different recycled and upcycled materials. Some are different recycled textiles and some are completely different material, which are recycled to be made into yarn.
