We have finally managed to get sustainable wool back in our collection! Because we believe a warm woolen cardigan is essential for the winter. We found sustainable wool, which is very soft, and extremely warm and cosy! Because we love our knitwear so much, we like to share our wool journey with you. From Argentina to your closet!
The wool is made of organic wool fibres, which originate from Argentina and is mulesing free. In short, this means the wool is sheared in an animal friendly manner. Subsequently the wool is washed, dried and pressed into bales for different processes.
Our wool goes to a spinning mill, where it will be spun electronically. This provides an accident free environment for the workers. Next the wool is shipped to Turkey. The organic wool is packed with a label. This way there is no mix-up between organic and non- organic wool, which is quite important!
Before the cardigans are knitted into our beautiful Miss Green items, the fibers have to be knitted. The fibers are waxed, inserted into knitting machines and into panels. These panels are manually controlled and sorted. The factory is designed to conform to the safety rules and social rights of the workers. Just the way we like it at Miss Green!
The knitted panels are cut on the cutting tables. We try to make the fashion patterns as fitting as possible, so we have minimum fabric waste. The fabric waste that does exist, is collected for recycling and reuse. The cut patterns are sewed together to form your beautiful woolen items!
One of the final steps is to check for tiny production faults and repair these. After manually checking, the items are ironed and packaged. Our sourcing agents, who are well qualified QC technicians, do the final inspection.
We at Miss Green double-check everything so the items are sustainable, and you can wear them for a long time. Finally, the items are shipped to Holland. And here they are, our beautiful woollen items: cardigans Dame and Haille, and cosy scarf Claire. Right now they are anxiously waiting to be bought and send to their final destination. And with only one mission in mind: to keep you warm this winter!
