Reknit – a central concept in femiknit

Reknit – a central concept in femiknit

Reknit is a concept about thinking sustainably, creatively, and personally in knitting. Instead of always buying new yarn, you can reuse what you already have: an old sweater, a failed project, or leftover yarn from your drawer.

In all femiknit patterns, you will find a section that guides you on how to reknit – because it is a central concept in the femi-universe.

By reknitting, you:

• save money,
• do something good for the environment,
• and create a project with its very own story.

Always make a swatch to find the correct gauge. Play around with yarn and needle sizes – small changes can create entirely new expressions:

• Thin yarn + large needles → a light and transparent texture.
• Thicker yarn or multiple strands + smaller needles → a dense and warm texture.

Reknit is therefore both a method and a philosophy: giving old yarn new life through new projects.
