Recycled Wool
Recycled Wool
Origin: France
Certifications: GRS, Oeko-tex
- 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.
