Loading...Animal-derived mimosa – sustainable creativity.
Rehab breathes new life into quality fibers and yarns, transforming scraps and leftovers into sustainable, creative materials ready to inspire your craft projects.
The selvedge serves to preserve the fabric, at its extreme sides, from fraying. And also to ensure that, during the various stages of finishing–finishing then–the piece of fabric holds up and does not unravel. After these tasks are fulfilled, the selvedge is cut. It is practically a part of fabric processing that becomes waste, noble though. The selvedges you find here at DHG are collected from woolen mills in our textile district. The compositions can be different: cashmere, wool, alpaca and other animal fibers. They are perfect for hand weaving but also for working with needles andcrochet hooks. Also suitable for tailoring work. In short, they lend themselves to a thousand uses.
The selvedges are also part of the Rehab selection and represent one of the best examples of the circular economy applied to textiles, where quality materials are enhanced instead of being wasted.
Availability and packaging
Our selvedges are available in 100 g balls, which can be purchased individually or in packs of 10 per color. Each pack has a natural tolerance of ±3%. The different packages are designed both for those who need small quantities and for those who need large quantities and/or want to save. Please note: the quantities within the packages may not be continuous, but we will do our best to avoid having pieces that are too short.

Tips for working and care.
Our colors generally have high light fastness and wash fastness. Exceptions are fluorescent colors, which have low light fastness and may release color in the presence of alkaline or harsh soaps and with prolonged washing. The same applies to dark, bright colors. In all these cases, it is essential to test a small sample before starting the project, especially if these materials are combined with raw or light-colored fibers. In any case, it is always a good idea to dry artifacts away from direct sunlight, preferably in semi-shade.
A practical tip: Buying balls or spools of different baths can cause what is known as the barred effect: subtle variations in shade that seem invisible when comparing balls and spools, but become apparent once worked. Therefore, always be sure to buy some yarn in excess of what is needed for your project. We will be sure to send you spools and balls of the same lot.
