Well, this is a cool idea!
A woman named Emilee posted a video and showed viewers what she likes to do with old sweaters that she buys from Goodwill stores.

Emilee bought a cotton sweater for $5.99 from a Goodwill store and then she got to work unwinding the yarn from the sweater.
She wrote in a text overlay, “Only 25% of clothing donated to thrift stores actually sells.”

She then wrote, “Free will is making yarn balls out of a thrift store sweater.”
In the video’s caption, Emilee wrote, “Reduce, reuse, recycle.”
Nice work!
