WOOL

Wool is one of nature’s most hardworking fibres and that has kept us company for centuries. It keeps you warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s warm, because it breathes and naturally regulates temperature. It also resists odours and wrinkles, so it needs less washing, and it’s strong enough to keep its shape for years. When it finally reaches the end of its life, it’s renewable and biodegradable.

We always try to source as close to home as possible, and with wool, Portugal makes that easy. With a long standing wool tradition, from the shepherds who still move their flocks across the mountains of Serra da Estrela to the mills and knitters who have kept this craft alive for generations. Over the years, much of that heritage has been threatened by cheaper imports and fewer people to carry it on. That’s why we’re so proud to work with Portuguese wool producers and factories. Every piece we make helps support local businesses, keeps traditional skills alive, and lets us know exactly where our wool comes from.

MAKE IT LAST LONGER - TIP 1

TAKING CARE OF WOOL GARMENTS

- Wool is a natural anti-bacterial and self-cleaning fiber, which means you don’t need to wash it each time you use it. We recommend washing it after a minimum of 4 uses. Air dry the item instead, which will get rid of most smells and odors.
- Hand wash at cold temperature: this will avoid it to shrink and will maintain the quality.
- Air dry: dry your wool items flat, preferably on a towel to absorb any extra moisture. Never stretch or wring wool pieces.
- Never hang knitwear on a coat hanger. It will deteriorate fabrics making them lose. Extra tip: you can even keep lavender nearby to deter moths.
- Ironing after washing helps to restore the material’s natural sheen – use a steam iron on the wool setting and a pressing cloth.
- Use a gentle fabric shaver to avoid pilling
