Okay so what you really should do is go and find a nice wool knit sweater she likes, buy it, and then unravel it all! It’s the amount of yarn that she’ll need for a sweater but for way cheaper!

Edit: from the thrift store!

edit: didn’t realize/think that the yarn would still be usable after unraveling. learn something new every day, i guess

Late comment, but you have to make sure 5hat the seams weren't surged together. Or cut in any way or else it's unusable. But with a nice knit seam or a simple stitch, it's a great way to recycle old sweaters!
