How is this sweater more conscious than another?
Currently, the majority of extra-fine wool comes from sheep raised in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, often in intensive farming conditions, with 70% of the wool then going to China for processing.
To overcome this manufacturing process which has a very heavy carbon impact, we are offering an innovative solution for our first sweater.
A yarn made from extra-fine recycled wool, 50% post-consumer and 50% pre-consumer, labeled GRS made in Italy. Post-consumer = old 100% wool sweaters, mechanically recycled and then retransformed into yarn associated with production scraps of wool sweaters (this is pre-consumer).
The recycling of the sweaters and the manufacturing of the new yarn are carried out in Italy. Our sweaters are then knitted in Portugal.
