- Our recycled wool comes from a recycling factory close to our knitting mill in Occitania, France.
- The factory mostly works with recycled wool made of old, used wool clothing from the collection bins of local charities.
- Working with recycled wool ahead of many others allowed the factory to continue its operations and produce local materials.
- Wool is the most recycled fiber and was the first fiber to be recycled.
- Wool has the potential to last at least 30 years and be recycled up to six times.
- Recycling wool results in reduced methane emissions from sheep, reduced land use and water pollution from washing wool.
- The wool we use is recycled in a closed loop system, meaning fibers are turned into yarn to create new products of similar quality and use to the original.
Recycled wool doesn't need to be washed often. To reduce washes, you can air your garment out, steam, hang it up while showering, use a delicate fabric refreshing spray or brush it. Spot clean stains immediately when they appear, because stains can be hard to get off after a while. Hand washing is preferable. If you prefer, you can also wash on a delicate or wool wash programme at 30°C. To protect the surface of the fabric, use a washing bag and turn the garment inside out. Use enzyme-free, pH-neutral laundry detergent. Enzymes in regular detergents break down protein-based fibres like wool. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fabric. Do not tumble dry.
Dry your knitted wool flat; it might stretch if hung. Knits should be stored folded, as hanging knitwear can change the shape. Put cedar wood or lavender in your drawers and make sure your knitwear is clean when you store it to avoid moths.
