ReTwisst T-Shirt Yarn from James C Brett is made for knitters who want bold, tactile results without spending weeks at their needles. Pick up your 10mm–25mm needles and you’ll find a chunky basket or a relaxed market bag taking shape in just a few evenings.
Spun from 90% recycled cotton with 10% elastane, this yarn has a soft, fabric-like hand that feels pleasantly substantial as it moves through your fingers. The elastane gives it a gentle bounce, keeping your stitches even and the finished fabric nicely resilient — ideal for a sturdy rope bowl or a roomy tote bag.
ReTwisst comes in rich, block colours that suit the chunky, textured look of T-shirt yarn knitting. The flat, ribbon-like construction of the yarn catches light evenly, giving your finished piece a clean, contemporary finish.
The recycled cotton content means you’re using a yarn with a lower environmental footprint than virgin fibre, which feels good alongside a cool hand wash and flat dry routine. It’s a hard-wearing choice for everyday items like plant pot holders, bathroom storage baskets, or a chunky floor cushion cover that will see plenty of use.
