Do you know where your wool sweater comes from?
We keep talking about having 100% traceability and that our wool is certified, but what does that really mean? To explain it, we have three stages wool goes through before it can be knitted into the world's warmest woolen clothing.
Our farms, Uruguay
Our merino sheep graze on large, open plains in Uruguay. The country is the first in South America to have a protocol that safeguards animal welfare, including a ban on mulesing!
Our wool comes from farms certified with the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) by Textile Exchange. In order to receive certification, farms must follow strict protocols with high standards for animal welfare, nature management and ensuring good working conditions.
Lanas Trinidad, Uruguay
After the wool is sheared, it is sent to Lanas Trinidad, where it is sorted, washed and tumbled in a sustainable way in harmony with nature.
Lanas Trinidad leaves as little footprint as possible, which has earned them numerous awards and certification from both RWS (Responsible Wool Standard), GOTS (Organic Textiles) and Nativa.
Südwolle, Germany
The finished skein yarn is sent to Südwolle. The family business has been spinning since 1966 and focuses on premium wool quality, good working conditions and ethical responsibility.
They are Bluesign® approved, which stands for textiles without harmful substances, environmentally friendly production and limited resource use.
Our production countries
After the wool is spun, it is sent on to the production of the finished wool product. This takes place in Spain, Lithuania, Sweden and Finland. Our wool blankets are still knitted at our place on the Atlantic Road.
