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 breeding conditions, of which 70% of the wool then goes to China to be transformed.
To overcome this manufacturing process which has a very heavy carbon impact, we are offering an innovative solution for our first sweater.
A recycled extra-fine wool yarn 50% post-consumer and 50% pre-consumer labeled GRS made in Italy. Post-consumer = old 100% wool sweaters, mechanically recycled then retransformed into yarn associated with scraps from the production of wool sweaters (this is the 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.
How to maintain it?
You can wash it by hand or in the machine on wool program (cold or 30 degrees), low spin (400 revolutions max), use a special wool detergent, no softener needed. Do not put in the dryer, do not iron and lay it flat so that it dries without losing its shape.
