Waste Yarn Project

Waste Yarn Project (WYP) is an initiative that transforms surplus yarns into one-of-a-kind knitwear, guided by a unique design process rooted in chance and creativity. Co-founded by Siri Johansen and Sebastien, WYP blends their expertise in design, manufacturing, and a shared commitment to addressing the knitwear industry’s waste problem. Inspired by the beauty of randomness, the brand’s creations are determined by the WYP Wheel of Fortune, a custom-developed tool that combines colors and materials in unexpected yet harmonious ways.

At the heart of WYP is a dedication to thoughtful, sustainable production. The process is slow, intentional, and ensures quality and longevity. With every spin of the wheel, WYP celebrates the art of improvisation, turning discarded materials into something new, beautiful, and ready to be cherished for years to come.
