But when we saw Italian artist Ivano Vitali‘s crochet pieces made from recycled newspaper, we had to take a closer look. Vitali tears recycled newsprint into strips and expertly twists into balls of yarn without adding glue, coloring or silicone, reports ecouterre. He then uses custom-made needles and hooks – some as long as 8 feet – to crochet the newspaper yarn into stylish and functional fashion pieces, the site reported. The artist, who has been dappling in the use of recycled materials for more than three decades, calls his creations “zero-impact global art,” as it requires nothing but trash (and loads of man-hours).
