Is this yarn I undid from a sweater 'recycling'...
or 'upcycling'.
And this lampshade that I am revamping from this...
...to this...
Is that 'upcycling' or 'recycling'?
Or is 'upcycling' just a new way of saying 'recycling'?
Anyone know?

Cycling - 'UP' and 'RE'
Anybody know the difference? Is there a way that 'upcycling' differs from 'recycling'?
Is this yarn I undid from a sweater 'recycling'...
or 'upcycling'.
And this lampshade that I am revamping from this...
...to this...
Is that 'upcycling' or 'recycling'?
Or is 'upcycling' just a new way of saying 'recycling'?

I'm no expert but I would have said that the sweater is recycled, as you undid it and made something from just the raw material. The lamp I would say is up cycled or revamped, as you took an object and did something with that actual object.

My daughter is one of the generation of 'up-cyclers', and yes, I would agree that revamping is the same thing. Taking an item of clothing and altering in ways that make it look completely different is 'up-cycling'.
Hi Penny... I've thought that 'upcycling' is re-using something and making something even better! But I guess it doesn't matter what word you use. Or... maybe 'upcycling' is riding a bicycle up a hill??? Ha.
