Remnant - 1.5m - 12oz Upcycled Soft Wash Denim - Concrete Fleck

This listing is for a remnant piece of fabric measuring 1.5 meters (1.6 yards) in length.

This sturdy and heavyweight denim comes to us from The New Denim Project, a third-generation textile mill in Guatemala that focuses on natural fibres and circular manufacturing. This hardwearing denim is made entirely from recycled garment industry waste. These fibers are spun and rewoven into a durable, upcycled and 100% biodegradable textile that is both chemical and dye free, minimizing water and energy consumption. Featuring a prominent twill weave with a softly structured drape and a range of colourful flecks throughout, this fabric was treated with a silicone wash which gives it a soft feel straight off the bolt making it the perfect choice for beginner sewists new to jeans making. Ideal for chore coats, overalls, jumpsuits and all sorts of workwear inspired garments.

Due to the nature of the upcycling process, there may be irregularities throughout the yardage. These are not defects and we encourage you to embrace these slubs and nubbly textures as they are a natural result of recycling (and reducing!) cotton waste.
