100% RECYCLED GARMENT WASTE TEXTILES

by Suzanne Tick for Luum Textiles

Woven at a European woman-owned mill engrained in a long tradition of fiber recycling, Everyday Boucle, Melange Check, Wool Fleck and Graph Speck yarns contain 100% recycled wool, polyester and acrylic fiber.

Bales of discarded apparel and post consumer textile waste are sorted by color and fiber type, shredded to the fiber level, blended and then spun back into yarns. Each yarn hue is artfully created using a variety of individual colors to achieve a melange effect, taking color from the original garments without the need for additional water, dyestuffs or energy.

Each design starts with weaving hand woven prototypes on our loom. These structures are then manifested into commercially tested products for the Architecture and Design industry.
