Turning scrap into new materials Small scrap pieces are an inevitable result of clothes production, but they can still be of use. We deliver all our scraps to Dafecor Oy in Turenki, Finland, where they are shredded and carded to make wool wadding. The wadding made of white wool and silkwool scraps is then shipped to Laatupeite Oy in Tampere, Finland, where they are used as filling for our bedding. The coloured scraps are turned into felt underlay for hardwood flooring, for example. Our high- quality raw materials are sought after by artisans as well. We sell small batches of wool wadding for crafts through our web shop. Silk scrap is carded and spun with Finnsheep wool to make hand knitting yarn. The edge strips of our wool fleece fabric have become popular carpet rags.

Biodegradable materials avoid microplastic pollution

All textiles wear out eventually, no matter how carefully you wash and keep them. When finally at the end of their lifespan, the 100% natural fibres with no synthetics in the mix will return fully to the natural cycle.
