Repair Remix & Rewear Events | October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I thought September was a stacked month, between NYFW, New York Textile Month, and Climate Week. But October is shaping up be just as busy!! I’ve rounded up a long list of events for you all here, from upcycling to mending to swaps. Also - it’s not strictly repair / remix / rewear, but because so many of you are fiber artists & enthusiasts, I’d be remiss not to mention that this coming weekend of Oct 1-4 is the annual(? I think?) NYC Yarn Crawl. Yarn shops all over the city participate in the ev
Mapping our ‘NYC Waste Collection’ (opens the original)

From the beginning of this project I thought, how cool would it be to make a map of all the sweaters we collect, unravel, and remake? One, because I like maps! And two, because I like the idea of material traceability and transparency.We are more disconnected than ever from where our clothes (and things in general, really) come from, how they’re made, and what they’re made of.

In conceptualizing this collection made out of NYC’s waste, I knew I wanted to tell the story of the project on Instagram.

Hi guys, hope you all had a lovely Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately I was stuck at home sick :/ but I’m looking forward to a very busy (fun!) rest of the month, filled with unraveling and reknitting and writing and lots of repair and fashion and climate-related events. Because I’m knee deep in unraveled sweaters for my new collection made from NYC’s textile waste, I figured this was the perfect time to re-share this DIY guide to repurposing old / damaged / stained knits into yarn. It’s not as ha
Ever wonder how New York City handles the ~230,000 TONS of textile waste we generate each year? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On average, New Yorkers discard 50 lbs of clothes per person, per year. If you think your household is well below that number, imagine how many are above it, and by how much…!So, where exactly does it all go? Before I started this project to collect New Yorkers’ old sweaters and re-knit them, I wanted to learn more about the system I’d be plugging in to. I wanted to follow the thread (heh) and see our old clothes’ journey firsthand.At a high level, there are four main phases our old clothes goes
