Sophia Blue Cardigan

Located in Capri, Italy, it has more than 40 years experience in producing high quality yarns for knitwear.

They contribute to 38 families from the small region they’re located, Loriga, with a direct social impact on more than 15% of the total population.

While wool has amazing qualities that no other man-made fiber was able to mimic. Virgin wool brings up animal welfare and CO2 emission concerns that need to be addressed.

It can be pretty sustainable too, did you know 70% of a garment impact happens after it was bought? So wool here wins the game: it doesn't need to be washed a lot, only cold temperatures and it's most likely to be worn more and less likely to end up in trash and be recycled instead!

We want to do better so we work with what already exists and wool is the most recycled fiber next to cotton. How does it happen?

Simple. They shred either be pre-consumer or post-consumer waste, comb it (just like our hair) and make new yarn out of it! It's very common to add new fiber to ensure higher quality but our supplier is one of the best ones doing new yarn it without adding any virgin fibers!

Our advise? Look for GRS certification!
We still have a long way to full circularity but we're walking the walk.

Probably the biggest concern when buying a wool garment is how to care for it and make sure it doesn't end up in your child drawer because it shrank.

We promise it's very simple, let us help!
