"For the love of our skin and the environment."

We use the finest organic merino virgin wool and natural organic merino virgin wool with silk. All the dyestuffs we use are free from heavy metals and have always been free from harmful AZO-dyes. For colouring our woollen textiles we use only reactive dye, which compounds particularly well with fibre and stands out for its excellent fastness. We abstain from any kind of chemical finishing with our textile processing.

Basically all used agents should be bio-degradable and must not pollute soil, air and water. All the materials used are nickel-free, and our buttons are made from natural, renewable raw materials.

Our philosophy, which we have pursued from the start, is to provide our customers with high-quality, ecologically compatible feel-good products that offer a clear conscience.

We are committed to fair, safe employment for a fair wage, not only in our own company but throughout all the production stages.

We feel these leggings are true to size or on the edge of running large. They are very stretchy and accommodate many body types easily. We recommend getting the size you like to wear.

We recommend a hand wash for long lasting care, with reduced risk of washing machine mistakes.

Simply wash in a sink with a wool wash, such as our disana wool wash, that is ph balanced and suitable for babies.

For a quick dry, roll in a towel and walk along the roll, then lay flat or hang to dry.

Alternatively, if you are doing a bigger wash, you can wash all of your items and then put them in the washing machine and do a medium to low spin to remove the excess water - and then proceed to air dry. **Make sure you turn off the rinse and only do the spin setting. **

Hand washing takes less time than you might think and is rewarding. It genuinely can feel good to take great care of clothing with a meditative mindset on all of the benefits and beauty of wool clothing.

If you choose to use the wool setting on your wash machine, please make sure that the rinse water will be the same temp as your wash water. Otherwise shrinking may occur do to the temperature change shocking the fibers. When in doubt do a cold delicate/wool wash with a cold rinse with low spin speed. Air dry.
