The socks are knitted with yarn in three colors chosen by participants and Japanese paper yarn upcycled from Yoshino kudzu pomace, resulting in a pair of original colors that are unique to the world. At “BEB Up CYCLE Christmas,” you can choose yarn dyed using agricultural waste by “futashiba248,” which is based in Ibaraki Prefecture. You can knit socks with threads in ecological and warm colors that are not available in regular Charix. If you make socks made by cycling with yarn of your own choice and hang them on the doorknob of your guest room before going to bed, you might find something good will happen to you the next morning. [About

As a background for holding “BEB Up CYCLE Christmas”, we focused on the fact that while cycle tourism
initiatives are actively being carried out in Ibaraki Prefecture, there are parts that inevitably end up being discarded every time a vehicle is replaced or inspected. . Therefore, we decided to hold this event with the idea of upcycling bicycle wheels and tires that would otherwise be discarded and allowing people to enjoy cycling in a new way. At “BEB Up CYCLE Christmas,” trees and wreaths made from upcycled bicycle tires and wheels scheduled for disposal will enliven the Christmas mood.

You can make your own socks while experiencing the entire sock manufacturing process. The finished socks feature large, low-gauge stitches that give them a thick, fluffy feel.
