Wool and the Gang Billie Jean Yarn in Raw Denim
Wool and the Gang Billie Jean Yarn in Raw Denim
Billie Jean looks and feels like a light, smooth cotton, but its actually leftover denim. Offcuts get scooped up and re-spun rather than heading to a landfill. Billie Jean saves 20,000 litres of water for every kilogram of upcycled denim she's one cool yarn.
