Aqua Neutral Tones
A word from the designer:
Aqua is a vigoré-effect yarn thanks to chain-ply structure composed of recycled polyester and cotton.
We collaborate with Seaqual Initiative to help clean our oceans and raise awareness of the issue that the pollution entails. Up until now, 200 tons of sea waste have been transformed into Upcycled Marine Plastic, a 100% recycled polyester fiber.

Our Opinion
I was very excited to try out this yarn. The idea that plastic was removed from the ocean, and recycled, or upcycled, to make new yarn, really appeals to me. The collaboration with Seaqual is an inspiring one, and we're hoping to see more companies team up with this initiative in the near future.
The yarn was a pleasure to work with. It's soft, smooth and almost mesmerizing to look at. It worked up fast, and resulted in a lovely, drapey top, which can be dressed up with a jacket or down with jeans. A very versatile yarn!
