Origin
Textile waste sourced from Citizen Wolf in St Peters, Sydney.
Textile waste recovered by The Billie System in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong.
Virgin merino wool sourced from Gostwyck merino farm in Gostwyck, NSW
Recycled and virgin fibre blended and spun into yarn by Novetex Textiles in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China.
Yarn hanked and labelled by Dempstah at our Thornbury studio.
Both The Billie System and Novetex Textiles were GRS certified at the time of this yarn's production.
Care
Cold hand or machine wash (gentle/wool cycle ). The virgin wool in this yarn will bloom after first wash; meaning it will appear fuller and fuzzier.
Do not tumble dry.
Dry flat or block.
Steam a wrinkled item rather than ironing it directly.
Mechanically recycled fibres are short, staple-length fibres, and just like any short fibre may pill over time if exposed to regular friction. Pilling can be gently removed with a sweater comb or fabric shaver
