Greetje van Tiem, a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, has harnessed her artistic talents to transform old newspapers into yarn which can be woven into carpets, curtains and upholstery. Each newspaper page can produce about twenty yards of textile material. If you look closely, you can still identify some letters. This creative innovation will be shown at Dutch Design Week 2007.  According to the inventor, "Today’s news, tomorrow’s textile. The front page of a newspaper yields no less than twenty metres of yarn, making it possible to transpose yesterday’s news into tangible memories which can be transformed into all kinds of upholstery.
When you look closely you can see letters, a part of the date and colour schemes appear from a photo. You are not able to read the newspaper anymore, but the memory will be kept alive."
