Greetje Van Tiem recycled newspaper yarn

Wow, talk about recycling newspapers being a good thing! This gorgeous yarn is actually made of newspapers! Designer Greetje Van Tiem takes old newspaper and spins them into these spools, then makes beautiful carpets, curtains, and stools!...

We spotted this on Casa Sugar, and are in awe of the time that must be involved to do this. Check out more images at Greetje's website. (via Casa Sugar, Via Bloesem, via Dezeen) (image via Dezeen)

What happens to the thread if it gets wet? Does it just disintegrate?
