Camira's ReSKU 2.0 Fabric Blends Recycled Wool and Flax

British textile brand Camira has launched ReSKU 2.0, a new fabric made from recycled wool and renewable flax, available in 24 shades.

ReSKU 2.0, launched to mark Camira's 50th anniversary, is inspired by the brand's original 1998 ReSKU fabric, which was made from recycled army jumpers.

The new fabric combines recycled wool and polyamide from Camira's manufacturing waste with flax, a low-water, renewable crop. This process is handled by Camira's textile recycling arm, iinouiio, utilizing advanced reprocessing techniques.

The resulting fabric has a textured, tweedy appearance that highlights the natural color variations inherent in the recycled materials.

Camira states that ReSKU 2.0 is suitable for applications such as seating, curtains, and panels in various settings, including modern workplaces and hospitality venues.

The company emphasizes that ReSKU 2.0 embodies a commitment to circular thinking and responsible manufacturing, demonstrating how heritage, innovation, and sustainability can merge to create a recycled, renewable textile.
