The Cotton Sweater Dyeing Facility

Originally a producer of dye stuff for the textile industry this Italian enterprise has become specialized in dyeing cotton yarn. A family owned business it's currently run by the third generation with locations both in its birthtown in Italy and a subsidiary in Egypt. This facility is committed to environmentally-friendly processes, managing chemicals and waste water in adherence with the Greenpeace DETOX program and the ZDHC guidelines. The melange yarns are fiber dyed in Egypt, close to the farms, whereas the solid colors are yarn dyed, after the cotton is spun to yarn, in Italy.
