Each week a group of people gather at Avondale Library to work with wool that was destined to be destroyed.
The wool comes from a farm north of Auckland, and is burned when there is no market for it as a product.
'Textile Tuesdays' started small, but is growing as more people come along to learn how to spin, knit, crochet or sew for free.
We speak to award-winning designer Liz Mitchell and Jill Ferrell - the passionate spinner who set this initiative up over a year ago.
