The importance
Knitwear is a women's way out of extreme poverty. Every time you buy from us, you're ensuring the survival of a hardworking Burundian family trying to make a living as coffee farmers. But it takes our help when we're talking about the world's poorest country (2022).
When a knitter makes one hat or similar a week, she doubles the income of the whole family. The fastest knitter can make two products a day.
Beautiful and climate-friendly
Our fluffy alpaca wool blend is exactly how we want it to be. Fluffy enough to snuggle up in on those early mornings. For the first 4 years, we bought yarn for the knitters through Danish wholesalers. Gradually, we found that brushed wool in alpaca was exactly what we were looking for. Alpaca is the best wool source. It is gentle in its environment, drinks very little water and eats only the outer twigs over a large area. The wool is the most temperate wool of all. So it's perfect for our changeable weather. At the same time, it holds water up to 40% of its own weight without losing its ability to keep you warm. We added the 18% recycled polyamide to ensure that the hat can withstand endless use and stay firm and beautiful. When we started building our own yarn a few years later, we were the first in Denmark to introduce brushed wool with recycled polyamide.
The faux fur collar is so beautiful in the right on-time colors that you won't have to buy a new winter coat again this year.
We are a slowfashion brand: higher quality; timeless designs, smaller production and no machines.
Size
Measurements: sits fairly close to the neck and is also very flexible. Approx. measurements: H=35 cm. (before folded down) and W=19 cm. in front and 15 cm. in the back.
Washing instructions
We always recommend that you hand wash and tumble dry our products. Wool is basically self-cleaning, and you can hang it out dry in your bathroom in the steam after a shower. Wool is great for self-cleaning if your faux fur collar just needs a refresh.
