Yarn That Used to Be Bottles (Now It's Better!)

Absolutely no one needs a reason to hoard more yarn, but this one is irresistible - and it's got an eco twist that makes it practically essential. Our Recycled Bottle Plastic Yarn is a craft cupboard must-have: punchy, planet-friendly, and perfect for all kinds of creative projects. It's made from 100% recycled plastic bottles that have been cleaned, melted and re-spun into soft, strong, surprisingly squishable yarn. Yes, really - plastic bottles! And yet it feels gloriously tactile, handles like a dream, and works up with a beautifully consistent finish. 

Whether you're crocheting colourful storage baskets, knitting up beach bags, weaving wall hangings, making chunky rugs, or whipping up something utterly unique, this yarn holds its shape like a champion. The strands have a gentle sheen and a satisfying structure that makes them ideal for sculptural, stand-out designs. It's particularly fabulous for bold homeware projects - anything that needs a bit of strength and definition without losing that satisfying soft-touch feel. 

This is not your average yarn. It's bright, bouncy, and made entirely from post-consumer waste that might otherwise have ended up in landfill or the ocean. So not only are you crafting something beautiful - you're actively helping the planet too. It's also plastic-free in its packaging, of course: no plastic sellotape, no nonsense, just recyclable materials and compostable labels that you can feel good about. 

We love it for its versatility, but even more for its attitude. It's unapologetically bold and brilliantly useful - a yarn with purpose and a personality. Add a splash of sustainable fun to your next project and see what recycled plastic can really do. Whether you're a die-hard crocheter, a curious beginner, or a fibre artist looking to branch out, this is the kind of yarn that makes your fingers itch to get started. 

Cut from the Same Cloth

Jolly Good Yarn is now part of the Chimney Sheep flock, and it all just makes sense. We've always been about making practical things properly - using natural, sustainable materials to create useful stuff with minimal impact on the planet. So bringing in a range of recycled plastic bottle yarns for creative, hands-on making felt like the natural next step. Just like our wool-based products, this yarn is all about working with what we've already got - reclaiming, repurposing, and turning it into something brilliant. It's the same ethos that runs through everything we do: thoughtful materials, low-impact living, and a big dollop of good old-fashioned creativity. Whether you're plugging a chimney, feeding your soil, or knotting up a plant hanger, it's all part of the same mission to live a bit more simply and make things that matter.
