recycling old damaged sweaters?

[kalimba21.livejournal.com]

Anyone know of where I could bring old soft cashmere and wool sweaters that got damaged from moths but are now clean and holey? I was going to toss them, but realized that some people cut these up and use them for other stuff.

Thanks for any insight.

ME! Me! I'll take them! Me! I'll meet you anywhere near the square or anywhere, really, and happily take them! I'll pay in baked goods! Email me! genevramcneil [at] gmail [dot] com

I plan, in case you care, to make a variety of things including at least one blanket for donation to a local charity.

I would use them... but it looks like you already have a taker. :)

I cut them into strips and braid them into little rugs.

Are they too damaged for Goodwill?

Damn my not checking the internet over the weekend! I would love these!

I recycle them into art coats, inspired by this person's designs: http://zenandtheart.livejournal.com/1162773.html

A lot of people love taking 100% wool sweaters and turning them into cloth diaper covers, because they can be made waterproof with lanolin. It looks like you should be all set, but a freecycle post, or even calling up DiaperLab or making a post in the clothdiapering lj-comm, would probably do the trick.
