Recycled wool is repurposed from either pre- or post-consumer wool. Pre-consumer wool comes from milling and manufacturing waste, including off-cuts, excess fibers from spinning, or deadstock. Post-consumer wool comes from used garments. Virgin wool is renewable, but not without impact: land is required to rear livestock, methane gasses are emitted, water is consumed, chemicals are needed for dyeing. Recycled wool is less resource intense: Scraps, off-cuts and old garments are collected, manually sorted by color and quality, trimmed and then mechanically shredded to new fibers ready for spinning. The color of recycled wool is achieved through the sorting and subsequent blending and spinning process - no dyestuff and less water is required. As a result, recycled wool varies naturally in color from batch to batch.

We work with state-of-the-art woolen mills in Italy, with centuries of experience in producing high-end recycled wool yarns and fabrics. The GRS certification (short for Global Recycling Standard) ensures that any recycled wool is really recycled and not virgin, and that post-consumer wool is really consumer waste and not production waste.

We source recycled wool yarns and fabrics for chunkier knits and felted wool jackets and coats.
