Where is the word "Mezclilla" used?

In my Spanish class my teacher told me she had never seen this word or heard it used before used in any of the countries she went to (I believe that would be Spain and some in Sud America). Does anyone know what regions or countries it's used in? And specifically is it used in Peru?

Pantalón de mezclilla is used in Mexico to mean "Blue jeans". I use bluejeans in Spanish. In Spain the call them vaqueros.

I've never seen or heard it, nevertheless, I take it to be the diminutive of mezcla, mixture. Could be used anywhere, I suppose.
Thanks to Franco I looked it up and it means: cloth of mixed fibres.
