Insulative Felted Lint Textile
This sustainable performance textile is made of felted dryer lint and translucent ripstop. With a balance of function, fashion, and sustainability, this textile is ideal for winter garments. The highly insulative dryer lint is encased within dust-proof and weather-resistant nylon ripstop and quilted together for structure and flexibility. Translucency reveals and visually filters lint’s complex texture and varied color, resembling camouflage. Showcasing this otherwise wasted material provides an opportunity for conversations about sustainability, reuse, and waste management.
