Reborn Denim Uni and Colori
A word from the designer:
Our contribution to slow fashion: This yarn is made 85% from recycled Denim, 10% Premium (not recycled) Cotton and 5% other fibers, which are labels, sewing thread and other fibers attached to the clothes used.
Reborn Denim is made from post-consumer textiles, in this case it is produced from used Jeans. All non-Denim parts like metal or other parts are removed and then the material is sorted by color. Special machines are used to break down the garments and the fabric is turned into fiber again. This can then be spun into yarn. The yarn colors are achieved by adding premium cotton in the respective color.

Our Opinion
This yarn was fun to work with, despite it being fairly thin, it worked up quick, has great stitch definition and is therefore good for lace work and cables.
This has fast become one of my favourite summer tops; the finished fabric stays cool in summer and has fantastic drape.
