Our yarns are carefully selected from sustainable producers in Ireland and other European countries, and each garment is handmade on Ireland's rugged west coast by Fisherman Out of Ireland.

Yes! Our knitwear is made from 100% natural wool, carefully selected for its quality, origin, and durability. Free from synthetic fibers, you can enjoy the pure softness, warmth, and breathability of wool, so your sweaters and cardigans stay beautiful for a long time.

Our knitwear is made from high-quality, A-grade wool yarns with extra-long fibers. Thanks to this quality, pilling is minimal, but it’s important to know that natural wool can always pill a little.

Light pilling usually goes away on its own or can easily be removed with a wool comb or fabric shaver. After 2 to 3 treatments, the sweater’s surface stays beautifully smooth, and pilling becomes less visible or disappears altogether.

The difference lies in the quality of the wool yarns:

•⁠  ⁠A-grade yarns are longer and stronger, so they pill less quickly and your sweater stays looking good for longer.

•⁠  ⁠For comparison: C-grade yarns are shorter and often more affordable, but they continue to pill, even after the pills have been removed.

100% wool has a self-cleaning effect: because it contains lanolin (a natural fat), it works like a kind of natural soap when it comes into contact with cold air. This means that your sweaters and cardigans often stay clean without washing, which is sustainable and extends the life of your clothes.

If you want to remove strong odors or stains, carefully hand-wash your wool in cold water, or use a wool cycle in the washing machine. Please note: only do this if you’re sure the cycle is suitable for wool.

Lay your knitwear flat to dry and store it folded to help it keep its shape. This will keep your sweater or cardigan looking great and in shape for longer!

Mulesing is a procedure performed on sheep that can be painful and that consumers are becoming increasingly aware of. That is why more and more people are choosing mulesing-free wool.

Our wool is 100% mulesing-free and comes from small-scale European farms where sheep are raised with care. This means you can be sure of animal-friendly, fair, high-quality wool, produced with respect for people, animals, and nature.
