Dutch Merino
± 50 gr. / ± 400m
We are very proud of our Dutch Merino. In 2019 we had our own merino wool processed in Italy in collaboration with 4 other merino breeders in the Netherlands. We have done the entire processing process as sustainably as possible. Both washing and dyeing are done in GOTS certified companies. GOTS Is a standard that uses as little polluting dyes and chemicals as possible. Unfortunately we cannot call the wool GOTS certified because we as farmers are not certified, but our wool is of course completely free of chemicals and animal welfare is completely okay. We've been in Italy every step of the way and captured this in a video. There is about 400 meters on a 50 gram ball of Dutch Merino. We recommend that you always knit a sample first and then wash to check the number of rows and stitches.

Origin
Where the wool begins.
Our wool originates in the Dutch landscape.
Wind, rain, and open land shape the fiber even before a thread is spun.
Fiber
The nature of wool
After shearing, the wool is carefully selected.
The properties of the fiber ultimately determine the structure, warmth, and feel of the knit.
yarn
The foundation of every knit.
The wool is spun into yarn.
This forms the basis for a knit that combines strength, softness, and resilience.
Knit
Designed from wool.
Only now does the wool take its shape. Not the other way around. The properties of the yarn determine how the knit feels, wears, and protects.
Many years of experience
Built to last.
A good knit gets better with every wear. Designed to be a staple in your wardrobe, season after season.
