Wool and the Gang just introduced a sustainable yarn crafted from recycled plastic called "New Wave Yarn." Each ball of yarn contains the equivalent of three recycled bottles and is made from 47 percent recycled plastic and 53 percent sustainably sourced cotton. The brand sells knit and crochet kits to make anything from bags to beanies to sweaters or hats.
