ReYa: Reuse Yarn

Elizabeth Gaston, Northumbria University

The Reya: Reuse Yarn project uses design strategies to implement waste reduction in knitwear manufacturing.

Key stage-5 students, working with industry and academic stakeholders, will co-design knitwear that mitigates the manufacturing problems associated with using pre-consumer waste in commercial knit production, providing a template for use across the global knitwear industry.
