How is wool recycled?
Recycled clothing is collected from recycling banks, retailers’ take back schemes and from manufacturers’ waste and taken to recycling projects to be processed. Once there it is sorted into material type, such as wool/wool mix and cotton.
The recycled textiles are sorted into colour batches, cleaned and then broken down into fibres. These fibres are re-spun into new yarns, ready to be woven back into new fabrics.
We use this fabric to create our beautiful recycled wool blankets and cushions. The original wool fabrics make up the final colour - no dyes are added - and if you look closely you can even see the variety of garment colours that make up the finished yarns.
