Eco Jeans from Venne is a recycled yarn made of 48% cotton and 47% polyester and 5% other material. Made from recycled from jeans and plastic bottles, worn jeans, jackets and other articles of jeans fabric will get a new life. It’s a slightly textured yarn reminiscent of a tweed yarn that adds interest to, and pairs well with 8/2 cotton. Sourced from France and Germany.

In using the yarn we have found it wonderfully soft and absorbent! 

This is a 12/2 NM (European sizing), it is a little bit thicker than 8/2 cotton. 

Sett 14 epi plain weave, 16 epi twill
