Recycled Japanese Raw Denim 12oz - Indigo - 0.5 metre

This Japanese-inspired raw denim is really quite unique for home sewing. This denim is medium to heavy-weight (12oz) with a deep indigo colour. The fabric is made from 100% recycled cotton. Because of that, there is no statement contrast selvedge as otherwise common in Japanese denim. However the benefit of the recycled material is that there is minimal shrinkage. The fibres have already been shrunk in their previous life so you can expect it to be a stable material.

Please note, this is a raw denim which means it has not been washed or distressed artificially. After washing at home, the denim will look different. Washing will rinse out some colour but also stabilise the colour. The gentlest wash would be a simple soaking of the denim in cold water, followed by 30°C machine wash. The higher the temperature and intensity of the wash, the lighter the denim will come out - but the more the colour will stabilise too.

PLEASE NOTE |  Sold per half metre (quantity 1 = 1/2 metre). To purchase 1 metre, you'll need to add 2 to your cart. Multiples will be cut in one continuous length.
