Detailed description
Billie Jean Yarn is made using upcycled pre-consumer denim waste. This waste is ground back into fibre and woven into our new Billie Jean Yarn. Using no chemicals and no dyes, we manage to save 20,000 litres of water per kilogram of upcycled material. Suggested knitting needles: US 8 / 5mm Wpi 11 / DK Dirty Denim: 60% "residual" Denim 40% residual raw cotton, Load / weight: 135 m / 100 g
This yarn drapes like Shiny Happy Cotton, and feels like a dry, light cotton. We have designed specific pieces to work with Billie Jean Yarn, but you can also use patterns made for our Shiny Happy Cotton (note that you'll need roughly 5% more Billie Jean).
Please note that Billie Jean Yarn is a repackaged denim yarn and will behave like most denim fabrics that can fade slightly during the first wash and can make a little color.
Available in three colors:
Raw Denim: 100% "Residual" Denim;
Yardage/Weight: 135 metres ( 148 yards) per 100-gram ball Average tension: 4.5 stitches per 2.5 cm /1”
Washed Out Denim: 20% "residual" Denim 80% residual raw cotton; Load / weight: 135 m / 100 g
