Recycled merino wool!
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 offer an innovative solution for our wool pieces.
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 pieces are then knitted in Portugal.
To go further, we wrote an article on the subject “Sweaters, worse than the plane? What is the problem with wool?”
How to preserve the beauty of your bonnet?
You can wash it by hand or in the washing machine on the wool program (cold or 30 degrees), low spin (400 rpm max), use a special wool detergent, no need for fabric softener. Do not tumble dry, do not iron and lay it flat so that it dries without losing its shape.
