Wear More, Wash Less
We highly recommend taking your knits to an environmentally-friendly dry cleaner once a season - unless you love shrunken sweaters. Also opt for an eco-friendly fabric spray to freshen your knit between wears.
All sweaters pill no matter what, so have a sweater stone or fabric shaver ready. Always fold sweaters instead of hanging them, since hanging will warp the fabric over time.
Impact Score: B+, good. Blends sustainable and recycled elements. Reduces harm compared to conventional fibers but relies on synthetics that are non-biodegradable.
Landfill Time: Natural Fibers: 1-5 years. Synthetic Portion: 20-20 years depending on soil conditions.
Treatment of Alpacas
Our raw materials suppliers in Peru are dedicated to the humane treatment of alpacas. These alpacas roam freely in the Peruvian Highlands, over 3,500 meters above sea level. They are shorn once a year in the spring, which is the optimal time for the animals' health. All procedures follow the protocols set by the Ministry of Agriculture’s Alpaca branch to ensure the well-being of both the alpacas and the shearers.
What We Love:
Eco-friendly grazing prevents overgrazing; enriches soil.
“Farm-to-garment” minimizes emissions.
Ethical animal welfare practices.
What We Don't Love:
Synthetic fibers reduce biodegradability.
Microplastic pollution from synthetic components.
