Well, we make a distinction because the amount of energy put into one or the other can vary drastically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, upcycling uses less, as you are pushing one type of use for the same thing up into another chain of usage; i.e., the upcycled yarn that is made from discarded clothing scraps (technically, just knit yarn) can be processed using minimal energy and no chemicals or dyes back into yarn. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor our purposes, recycling is when something such as plastic bottles is turned into an item like polyester yarn that is completely new and may create a carbon footprint in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth upcycling and recycling have their pros and cons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare: Machine wash cold and dry on low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sock will shrink, but the spandex will stretch back out once worn.
