The recycled wool originates from surplus fibres left over from the production of other wool yarns. These excess fibres are carefully collected, blended with merino wool, and respun into a new, high-quality yarn - reducing waste and supporting more responsible production. The addition of 50% merino wool enhances durability and helps prevent the breakage often associated with fully recycled yarns.
The wool is traceable and non-mulesed, and the yarn is produced in Italy at a spinning mill that adheres to strict ethical, technical, and environmental standards, ensuring yarns free from harmful chemicals. No Waste Wool reflects a commitment to transparency, responsibility, and enduring quality.
