If you're a knitter trying to stick to a budget you can build a relatively simple machine to reclaim yarn from sweaters using a bicycle wheel and chain and a tea kettle.
Design weblog PSFK showcases how Kingston University student Imogen Hedges created her "un-knitting machine" based on pedaling power from bicycles. The un-knitter sits in a chair pedaling which pulls yarn from a sweater, running the fiber through a steaming kettle to make it easier to handle before being collected on a spindle on the bicycle's wheel. If you have an extra bicycle wheel and gearing you could make your own with a bit of woodwork.
With this device knitters can buy cheap sweaters from thrift stores and reclaim the yarn. Seems like a good way to make a conceivably expensive hobby a bit more frugal.
