A Yarn with a Story

Dungarees Rainbow Tweed begins with reclaimed denim, worn jeans that are shredded, softened and re-spun into new life. But what makes this yarn truly unique is its colourful twist: a fine thread, spun around the main strand, adds a delicate flecked finish that brings a painterly effect to your fabric.

It’s a yarn that blends heritage and imagination, rooted in sustainability, elevated by colour and designed to surprise and delight.

Why You’ll Love It

Dungarees Rainbow Tweed is denim, but reimagined: lighter, flecked with colour and ready for your most creative projects.

You’ll love:

The unique rainbow-tweedy finish that adds playful pops of colour

Dungarees Rainbow Tweed proves that sustainability doesn’t have to be subtle. By mixing post-consumer and post-industrial materials with intentional design, this yarn reduces waste and brings renewed joy to making.
