Zpagetti T-Shirt Yarn from Hoooked

Eco-Friendly Crafting: How Zpagetti Yarn Repurposes Textile Waste

Did you know that the fashion industry generates over 92 million tons of textile waste every year? Imagine if we could turn some of that waste into something beautiful and functional. That’s exactly what Hoooked is doing with Zpagetti T-shirt Yarn, a sustainable crafting material made entirely from surplus fabrics. Let’s dive into the story behind this yarn and discover how it helps repurpose textile waste while championing sustainable practices in the fashion industry.

The Story Behind Zpagetti - The Original T-shirt Yarn

In 2008, Hoooked set out on a mission to tackle the fashion industry’s growing waste problem. After witnessing firsthand the sheer volume of discarded textiles, we asked ourselves, “What if waste could be transformed into creativity?” This simple yet powerful idea gave birth to Zpagetti, the original jersey T-shirt yarn that’s often copied but never equaled.

Handcrafted at our recycling center in Portugal, Zpagetti yarn is carefully sorted, processed, and packaged to ensure high quality and ethical production. The result? A one-of-a-kind yarn that combines sustainability with versatility, empowering crafters everywhere to make eco-friendly creations with style.

Why choose Zpagetti?
Crafting with Zpagetti isn’t just creative —it’s a commitment to a healthier planet. Here’s how this innovative yarn makes a difference:

Reduces Textile Waste: One bobbin keeps 0.8 kg of fabric waste out of landfills, turning potential pollution into purposeful projects.
Saves Water: Each bobbin of Zpagetti saves approximately 8,000 liters of water, enough for 100 showers or 50 bathtubs.
Low Carbon Footprint: Crafting with 7 bobbins saves the same amount of CO₂ a tree absorbs in a year.
Energy Efficient: Recycling textiles uses 80% less energycompared to producing new materials.

When you craft with Zpagetti, you’re reducing waste, conserving resources, and taking a stand for sustainability—one stitch at a time.
