Has your closet become a cemetery for unwanted or forgotten articles of clothing? Do you find that you never have anything to wear but have tons of clothes in your closet? Don’t feel bad, you’re not alone.

As a professional organizer, the most common item we remove from a residential space, is clothing. Men, women, and children alike, outgrow, outwear, and eventually get tired of their attire. Somehow that “favorite shirt” magically transforms into an outdated relic that steals prime real estate from your incoming purchases. And most often, people just leave them in the back of their closet to die. And you wonder where that smell is coming from!

So how do we solve this closet crises? It’s simple really. Your options boil down to a few of the following…  donate to a friend or family member, donate to charity, fix it, or trash it. But wait! Before you think about trashing that sweater because it’s not worth the money to fix or because it’s never coming back into style, think about repurposing it with Reknit!

Reknit is a small mom (no pop) shop, in which you send in an old sweater (could be the one your ex-boyfriend left that you decided not to give back) and in return you receive a newly knitted item from your old fabric. Genius I know. And what’s even more cool, is that each month Reknit makes the old material into a new article of clothing, which is voted on by the users of the website. For example, during the month of February, if you send in said sweater, you’ll receive back a pair of cut-off gloves.  h|b <3’s Reknit!
