these “recycled” denim fibers are leftovers from the “makin’ o’ the blue jeans” at the mills. Fibre Garden has a photo of the waste before it is
processed into roving
I know this fiber was popular many moons ago and
recently when I was stash diving, I found a hank of this
lovely soft fiber--aha, it was time to spin for my
handspun cotton towels that are on the loom--
they need more blue and I wasn't in the mood
to set up an indigo vat
It spins up nicely--
One bobbin finished and balled!
As you can see, some of the singles plied on itself--
I put too much twist so it was a
challenge to ply and get an even yarn--
but I did it!!
