Hoooked at The Orry Mill

The story of Hoooked is not only about fun colourful yarns, but also about tackling the waste of the fashion industry by using it for new yarns. Hoooked's philosophy is to reuse these surplus fashion textiles in a stylish way and contribute to sustainable employment in Europe, rather than outsourcing or offshoring production elsewhere.

The idea for Hoooked originated in 2008 when we saw first-hand the amount of fabric waste European fashion textile factories produced. We don't believe in waste, so we made it our mission to take these discarded textiles and give them a new life. The idea was simple: take these surplus materials and put them into crafty use. That's how Hoooked was born!

Hoooked was the first company to introduce Zpagetti, our iconic T-shirt yarn. We recycle this 'yarn' in our own Hoooked recycling centre in Portugal, where the ‘textile waste’ is selected by hand and sorted in small runs by colour shade and composition. Then we wind the selected materials into your unique bobbins. Hoooked Zpagetti is truly unique, as we add new colours every day!

After launching Zpagetti; the original T-shirt yarn made of remnants of textile production, we ventured out and added RibbonXL, Eco Barbante, Spesso, Wavy Blends and Soft Cotton DK to our recycled textile yarns. These yarns have different yarn weights and textures and offer inspiration for everyone.

These recycled cotton yarns are mechanically pulverized leftovers, mixed to make new colours, spun and then twisted or knitted. We do not additionally dye and the whole recycling process is dye- and water-free. RibbonXL, Spesso, Eco Barbante, Wavy Blends and Soft Cotton DK are all fully recycled from textile remnants. As these yarns are recycled in larger batches, you have a better chance of re-ordering the same colour run.
