i used to be a Pullover

the "i used to be a pullover" is one of those phenomenally beautiful collections

which we have had in our range for several years

it's a range we've developed for a very specific market

as you know our world has become a real FUCKED UP world

this both politically and biologically, not to say even more political than biologically and economically

but yes as a trader you have to be as apolitical as can be

you mustn't show or show color in front of anyone before bumping your head

well against this opinion I have so mixed feelings

I am pink to deep fushia of political color but most here already knew that

( Bart is NOT my brother as many continue to think ... and if there are still doubts ...

let's say we commit mortal sins according to the bible... and this quite regularly even and with a lot of enthusiasm too

sit this about my political color.now on about recycling and reuse)

so whatever you think about recycling and reusing raw materials

it is becoming a necessity

this range has been developed COMPLETELY AND EXCLUSIVELY for this purpose

As you may have read here and there on our site, reuse of existing textiles is not always an obvious thing

many think recycling and that's it

well... you couldn't be further from reality than that

recycling is a true art and also a true nightmare

it all depends on where your origin of the material to be recycled comes from

and the biggest problem is and remains the quality of your fibres

every time you start a recycling process you actually get smaller fiber lengths to work with

and let this be the biggest problem for us spin technical people

the shorter a fiber is, the softer it can make a spinning feel, but also the less wear-resistant your yarn will eventually become

and also the faster you will get a pilling effect

after all, smaller fibers give more fluff and therefore more fluff attracts more easily with other fluff next to each other

and form a ball.. so the well-known pilling effect

if you take all those factors together you have to know EXTREMELY well what you are doing to put a certain cohesion in your entire collection

in other words....and listen carefully

if you recycle you have streams of different materials

if you recycle you have streams of different colors

so suppose you want to build a collection of about 5 very light and 5 dark colors

then you have to work with 2 separate recycling streams because you will never be able to make dark textiles lighter

(Aleah you could theoretically do this by starting to bleach fibers etc but this is bad for the environment and for the fibers

and also not always possible because you do not always know with which types of dyes and which types of chemistry for post-treatment have been used

there are quite a few edits used very loosely in the industry that really aren't as harmless as they would have you believe

just think of the entire PFOS scandal... such substances and much worse are indeed used and cause chemical interactions that can no longer be reversed

and in many cases can also create new chemical components that are even less desirable ...)

so if you have 2 really different recycling flows, you can already have quite a difference in cohesion of quality in those two parties

and therefore also in consistency according to fiber property and fiber type and fiber blablabla

and only a small part of the full knowledge of a textile specialist begins there

you have to start blending and making very strict choices of the how and the what you really want and don't want to get and do

because every choice you make has an IMMEDIATE influence on your end result

either way I could go on for hours on this and tell you a lot more that you have never thought and considered

related to recycling and what we call the reuse of textiles

but

to keep a long blabla short

so we have done a 100% reused

we were able to do this because we did not dive into waste streams from end consumers

so nothing to dive out of the textile waste container of end users

but only with this by being consistent with a fixed range of knitwear factories and weaving eggs

save everything they have in waste AND especially SEPARATELY in color groups and in type of fibers etc

only then can ej have full control over your influx of what you use

and you can also do what you want to build up a collection later

you will see this clearly in some of the colors we present

and we are also very lucky that more and more of woven and also knitted textiles

everything white is produced and only afterwards this is painted to the colors that are nodgi

so as a fashion brand you don't suddenly have 60 pullovers in unsaleable colors that according to the fashion trends would be THE COLORS OF THE SEASON about

but can you gradually repaint colors that sell well and simply don't collect others anymore

It's a newer way of thinking and building a collection

composition is

100% all pure recyceled

i used to be a Pullover

65% Fine Merino wool pure recycled origine

20% Viscose type Lyocell pure recycled origine

15% Polyamide pure recycled origine

100gram = 380 meter
