Premium Carded and Worsted Yarns​

Made in Europe

Sheep are among the oldest farm animals of man. About 10,000 years ago, the wool sheep and its virgin wool developed into one of the most important textile fibers due to its useful properties.

The most commonly used wool fiber is from merino sheep. Our merino wool comes primarily from Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay as well as Argentina. Especially the vast steppes of Patagonia are considered one of the world’s leading sheep breeding areas.

For reasons of animal protection, we only use mulesing free wool, which can be certified with NATIVA and RWS.

Mulesing Free Breeding

We carry carded and worsted yarns from Nm 3.5 to Nm 200 in the most common types of sheep wool, such as merino or lambs wool.

Precious Wool

In addition, we offer high quality wool yarn from precious hair, characterized by its smooth fall and lightness. The precious hairs come from alpaca, vicuña, camel, cashmere, yak, angora or mohair. Due to the rarity of these fibers, they are considered very exclusive and are used in our wool blends.

Beneficial Characteristics for Apparel​

Convincing Versatility of Wool Yarn​

Wool is known for its temperature-regulating properties, making it an ideal fiber for outdoor clothing, fashion and homeware. It absorbs up to a third of its own weight in moisture and dries quickly. In hot weather, virgin wool cools naturally; in cold weather, it keeps warm. In addition, it has an antibacterial and odor-repellent effect, as it is difficult for bacteria to settle in the overlying scaly structure. The malodorous salts from sweat are neutralized by the wool.

From a sustainability point of view, wool also has a number of advantages. Since it is a renewable fiber, it conserves resources and is 100% biodegradable. Furthermore, wool is recyclable and can be reused for new goods in the sense of the circular economy. New recycling processes and methods are constantly being developed for this purpose.

Experience Tender Comfort

Alpaca wool is one of the most valuable and noble types of wool. It is the only wool fiber with a hollow structure and is therefore remarkably climate regulating.

The fine wool from baby alpaca is of exceptional quality. Due to its long staple length it is very soft, shiny and hardly pills. Since this wool is only available in limited quantities, it is spun in blends with merino wool or silk, as in:

Baby-Alpaca/Silk
70/30% Nm 60/1 or Nm 60/2
Baby-Alpaca/Merino Wool
70/30% Nm 20, Nm 40, Nm 60 in single and double
