# Recycled Cashmere Sweater Collections Everlane's ReCashmere Sweaters are Made from Recycled Fabric By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-09-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recashmere References: [bustle](https://www.bustle.com/p/everlanes-recashmere-sweater-collection-is-made-from-60-recycled-cashmere-18802647) & [elle](https://www.elle.com/fashion/shopping/a29193095/everlane-recashmere-line-review/) [Everlane's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everpuff) has always been at the forefront of sustainable fashion and now the chain is taking another step in a green direction with its ReCashmere sweater collection. Not only is the new line the latest environmentally-conscious offering from the brand, but its also part of a seasonal fall lineup. Everlane's new ReCashmere sweater collection consists of five vintage-inspired sweaters that will keep you warm (and stylish) on chilly fall days. The sweaters are made from 60% [recycled cashmere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-walsh-hooded-anorak) and 40% [extra-fine merino wool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-kite-jacket). For the recycled fabric, Everlane worked with a mill in Prato, Italy to collect pre-owned cashmere sweaters. The material is then woven into entirely new styles like cardigans, V-necks, and crewnecks to create sweaters that "have a 50% smaller carbon footprint than traditional cashmere."
