Materials The natural way
For many years we have been known for our throws made from the unique Gotland wool, and we have been working with wool for three generations. We have traveled the world to find the best raw materials and as the world keeps changing, we will continue looking to be able to always produce the best possible products. We get the best alpaca fibers in Peru – here, the alpaca lives in great herds in the Andes Mountains. Introducing alpaca into our products has made it possible to work with one of nature’s best materials. We believe in creating natural living conditions for the animals. We reduce our environmental impact by letting the sheep and alpacas live in the most natural environment throughout their lives. It is of the highest priority for us that our animals live in a sustainable, free-range, and natural habitat with space to ensure that the animals live out their inherent behavior. The animals are only gathered when they must be sheared - and then returned to the wild afterward.
WOOL
Wool is our foundation. Wool is a unique natural material that provides insulation against both heat and cold, is naturally dirt-repellent, can hold lots of moisture without feeling wet, and has antibacterial properties. Wool has endless possibilities because its nature varies depending on the geographical origins and the individual sheep. In addition, the spinning, the dying, the weaving, and the processing that follows, allow for a wide range of possibilities when creating beautiful and lasting products. The natural nuances of the wool, white, grey, and brown, are defining components in our collections, and the wool is carefully sorted right after shearing.
