The yarn we use is spun in the UK, and is non mulesed, and our supplier ensures the animals are well cared for and adhere to the RSPCA 5 freedoms.
Wool is a natural renewable and biodegradable material, therefore at the end of life after repairing it will biodegrade back into the earth.
Our buttons are made from Corozo – a completely natural & biodegradable material. Most buttons are plastic so we love using this.
Our manufacturer is based in Portugal and we hope to visit in 2023/24 and meet the people who make our knitwear.
Our knitwear is fully fashioned and linked together, this means each panel is knitted in the exact shape we need and therefore is virtually zero waste.
Importantly by supporting this industry we can ensure the artisan skills of local people are kept alive and a community can thrive.
