There’s something special about a yarn that feels as good on your needles as it does on your conscience—and Berroco Remix Light delivers on both fronts.
Spun in France from 100% recycled fibers, Remix Light is a thoughtful blend of materials that transforms reclaimed textiles into something entirely new. The result? A beautifully soft, lightweight yarn with a subtle tweed texture and an easy drape that works across seasons.
Why We Love Remix Light
Remix Light knits into a fabric that feels like your favorite worn-in t-shirt—soft, breathable, and endlessly wearable. Its light/DK weight makes it incredibly versatile: perfect for layering pieces, transitional garments, and accessories you’ll reach for year-round.
The palette leans into natural, heathered tones that flatter every complexion and wardrobe. Whether you prefer understated neutrals or gentle color shifts, this yarn brings depth and character to even the simplest stitches.

Pattern Pairing: Ship Shape by Heidi Kirrmaier
Looking for the perfect project to showcase Remix Light? We recommend the Ship Shape sweater by Heidi Kirrmaier (available on Ravelry).
This thoughtfully designed garment is knit seamlessly from the top down, starting with two separate shoulder gussets before joining into a unique drop shoulder/raglan hybrid yoke. The construction opens the door for creativity—think stripes, self-striping yarns, or bold color blocking.
Once the yoke is complete, the body and sleeves are worked in the round, making for a smooth and satisfying knitting experience.
Why it works so well with Remix Light:
- The yarn’s drape enhances the relaxed silhouette
- Tweedy texture adds visual interest to simple shapes
- Lightweight fabric makes it ideal for layering
Skills you’ll use:
- Knitting flat and in the round
- Increases and decreases
- Picking up stitches
The pattern is designed with approximately 4–7 inches (10–17 cm) of positive ease for a comfortable, modern fit. It features a slightly cropped body and ¾-length sleeves—but since it’s knit top-down, both can be easily customized. (Just be sure to grab extra yarn if you plan to lengthen!)
A Yarn You Can Feel Good About
Remix Light isn’t just beautiful—it’s responsible. By repurposing existing fibers, Berroco reduces waste while creating a yarn that performs beautifully in garments you’ll treasure for years.
If you’re looking for a yarn that combines sustainability, softness, and style, Remix Light might just become your new go-to.
