Our Opinion
Still in testing, but I am 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.
