The fashion industry is responsible for up to 10% of global carbon emissions and millions of tonnes of textile waste each year. Many of those clothes are made from synthetic fibres that release microplastics into our waterways every time they’re washed, polluting oceans and entering the food chain.

We use natural fibres like wool, alpaca, and mohair for their quality, longevity, and the fact that they’re biodegradable, so they won’t outlive us in landfill. They also naturally resist odour, meaning they can be worn more and washed less, reducing environmental impact over their lifetime.

Certifications

The yarn we use is all-natural and free from any synthetic, plastic derived materials. The alpaca yarn we use is certified by the Responsible Alpaca Standard, sheep's wool from the Responsible Wool Standard, and mohair by the Responsible Mohair Standard. 

These certifications ensure that the yarn is sourced from farms that prioritise animal welfare and responsible land management practices, as well as maintaining a transparent chain of custody from farm to finished product.

Certified farms must prioritize the physical and mental well-being of sheep, providing adequate shelter, clean water, nutritious food, and prohibiting harmful practices such as mulesing. 

Farms must implement sustainable grazing practices that protect soil, water, and biodiversity, ensuring that wool production does not harm ecosystems. RWS/RAS/RMS also includes social criteria to ensure fair and safe working conditions for farmworkers and other personnel involved in wool production.

Cotton is organic and Global Organic Textile Standard certified, GOTS ensures both environmental sustainability and social responsibility throughout the supply chain providing consumers with credible assurance that the textiles meet strict ecological and ethical criteria.

In addition, all yarns are dyed with OEKO-TEX certified dyes which is a globally recognised testing and certification system for textiles, ensuring they are free from up to 350 harmful substances, including formaldehyde, azo dyes, and phthalates.

Our suppliers and manufacturers uphold the highest standards in sustainability, animal welfare, and ethical sourcing, ensuring full transparency from raw fibre to finished yarn.

Transparency 

We’re not perfect, yet. There’s more we want to do, we are in the process of switching to fully sustainable labels and tags, exploring even lower-impact materials, and although your orders are carbon-neutral as we offset our carbon footprint, we are also looking into ensuring the delivery and transporting of yarns and knits is offset too.

Being a small brand makes some sustainable choices challenging right now, ordering at a larger scale would mean tying up significant costs and producing more than we can realistically sell without waste. For us, responsibility means growing carefully, and making realistic, informed choices so every piece we make has a purpose and a home. Over-production is one of the biggest problems in fashion so small-batch is out current approach.

We’ll keep learning, keep improving, and keep being transparent about our progress. Because the most sustainable knitwear is the one you love, wear, and keep for years.
