Fibre origins
From the world’s finest flocks to Canada
We source each fibre from the region that grows it best, then spin it into yarn at our mill.
-
Fine, soft merino from the pastures of Australia and New Zealand — the heart of our worsted yarns.
-
Silky, warm alpaca fibre from herds raised in the high Andes of Peru.
-
Lustrous mulberry silk from China, adding drape and a soft sheen to our blends.
-
Downy yak and cashmere fibre gathered by herders on the Mongolian steppe.
-
BFL, a British longwool prized for its lustre, softness and beautiful drape.
-
Flax linen from Belgium, for a cool, crisp handle in warm-weather blends.
-
Lustrous, resilient mohair from the Angora goats of South Africa’s Karoo.
-
TENCEL™ Lyocell from Lenzing in Austria — a smooth, breathable cellulosic fibre made from responsibly sourced wood.
- Spun by Amtex Canada
