The production takes place in the local cottage industry of the Swedish island of Gotland. All products are durable and environment-friendly. The knitwear consists of 100% Swedish and Gotland wool. The cottage industry keeps around 30 hand-knitters busy, all with their own personal touch. Gotland wool is unique as fiber and quality, it is long and shiny silver-grey. It is renewable, moisture-proof and flame-retardant. Wool is cut twice a year and spun in spinnery to achieve the right yarn quality. The color range of the products depends on the natural color of the wool. Whether anthracite (black) or grey as in domestic Gotland sheep or white as in Leicester, Swedish Finewool a Texel they are all from sheep grazing the pastures of both island and mainland. Apart from its quality, the final structure of the wool depends on aspects such as available grazing and annual shifts in the weather. Unique variations such as these as well as in yarn deliveries make the weight and dimensions of the products approximate.Read their story
