What's in my clothes?

Alpaca wool is a very fine material. Baby alpaca wool is used for extra soft jerseys, ideal for our kids. This wool does not come from young animals, but comes from the back of an adult alpaca. The back is a place that is the least soiled and produces very soft wool.

When it came to embroidering our T-shirts, we came across an unexpected sustainability challenge: our supplier’s embroidery machines are set up to work with polyester yarn. Surely this was not a problem? 

Well, we thought it was. We had made all this effort to source and pay for GOTS-certified cotton, and then we’d pollute them with polyester embroidery? We couldn’t let that happen.
