Reborn Denim Uni is a thoughtful fine-weight yarn made with recycled denim, designed for makers who value texture, wearability and a more considered approach to fibre. With a composition listed as 95% cotton and 5% other fibres, and made using 85% recycled denim, 10% premium cotton and 5% other fibres from the original garments, it offers a soft, linen-like handle with an interesting twist through the strand. Each ball is 50g with 155 metres, making it a beautiful option for lighter garments, accessories and textured projects.
 
This is the kind of yarn that feels distinctive in the hand. It has a breathable feel that suits makers looking for plant-based fibres with a little more structure and character, while still being practical for everyday wear.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Reborn Denim Uni is a contribution to slow fashion, a yarn created by giving existing denim a second life. The recycled content comes from pre-existing denim garments, including the small traces of labels, sewing thread and attached fibres that remain part of the finished yarn. That construction gives Reborn Denim Uni its individual character and subtle variation, while also reflecting a more resource-conscious approach to textile production.
 
This yarn carries with it the stories of past lives, repurposed with purpose, reimagined for makers who value sustainability, creativity and comfort in equal measure.

Spun with Purpose
 
This yarn is built around reuse. Kremke Soul Wool describes Reborn Denim Uni as part of its contribution to slow fashion, using recycled denim as the primary fibre source alongside premium cotton and residual fibres from the original garments. That gives the yarn both its sustainability angle and its distinct texture.
 
For makers drawn to fibres that feel both practical and thoughtful, Reborn Denim Uni is a strong fit, especially for projects where breathability, texture and everyday wear matter. Its cotton-rich makeup and washable finish make it especially appealing for pieces designed to be used often and enjoyed over time
