50% linen 50% wool. Soft, cosy knitwear in a specially developed mix of linen and wool. The garments are fully fashion-knitted on hand machines in our little factory in Latvia by Erica, Baiba and their colleagues. To knit fully fashion means that each part of the garment is knitted and shaped individually, similar to hand knitting. Knitting like this, rather than knitting a large fabric to cut and sew from, means that hardly any material is wasted. Fully fashion knitted garments can easily be repaired throughout their lifetime. Counting loops, rather than centimeters, secures the high quality of our knitted garments.
The raw material, the flax, for the linen in grown in France, Belgium, and Poland and spun in Lithuania. The wool is spun in Turkey with raw material from New Zeeland and South America and then dyed in England. The garments are washed and have a soft hand feel. If you are very sensitive to wool, we recommend washing with special silk soap.
