I found a sweater made of lovely heavy wool, but the style was a bit...dated. Sort of an '80's revisited "aztec" design. And a pocket was ripped. Good excuses to unravel it and make something else.

Sweater is washed, then unravelled. The yarn is soaked again. And wound into balls as is. I leave the different colours joined as they are. I don't know what the stripe pattern will be, but it always seems to work. The last 2 photos show the sweater as it was, and the yarn I reclaimed.
