HOOOKED Stand K06 hoooked.nl Fashion textile factories throughout Europe produce a lot of waste and Hoooked chooses to recycle these left-overs by re- using excess materials into fabulous and easy-to-make do-it- yourself creations. At this year’s show, the company will be showcasing its new Hoooked yarn made from 100 per cent Natural Jute. This yarn from the Amazons is made without the use of fertilizer or pesticides by a BCS certified sustainable family-owned company in Brazil. Jute is a sturdy 100 per cent vegetable fibre and offers a wide range of crafty possibilities for indoor and outdoor projects. Its natural properties ensure a fully biodegradable final product. The collection is available in a range of six toxic-free pastel shades. Each bobbin Natural Jute is approximately 45 metres in length and works with needles of 10-15 millimetres.
