Notes from manufacturer’s website:
Our No Waste Wool is made from 50% GRS certified recycled wool, certified be Control Union, CU 127694 and 50% RWS certified wool certified by Control Union, CU 898826.

The yarn is traceable and non-mulesed

The yarn is very soft and has a beautiful and woolen texture.

The recycled wool is a waste product from the production of other wool yarns. We collect the excess wool fibers, blend it with our merino wool and spin the wool blend into a new yarn. This way we use the wool fibers that would otherwise be wasted, and reduce waste in yarn productions.

The 50% merino wool prevents the yarn from breaking easily, which is often the case with pure recycled yarns.

The yarn is produced in Italy. Our spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.
