This versatile yarn combines fine pure wool with cruelty-free, super soft Eri Silk. Eri Silk is produced by allowing the silk worms to escape from the cocoon before harvesting and cooking the cocoon in order to obtain the thread. The yarn has a fine shimmer and is very soft. The silk portion makes the yarn machine washable on a cold and delicate cycle, without any superwash treatment.The yarn is spun in Italy from mulesing-free GOTS certified wool from Argentina.

GOTS is a guarantee of focus on the environment and sustainability in all stages of the manufacturing process.
Requirements in relation to the dyeing process, handling of waste water and energy usage are monitored on an ongoing basis, along with social ethics and worker related aspects of the manufacturing process. The final yarn's quality is also inspected. GOTS is a world-wide acknowledged environmental branding which only certified distributors may use.
