"Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics. Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions. Silk is known for its drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. SilkÕs resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather, and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.
"This mill takes great care in cultivating its silk, including organically grown mulberry plants for silkworm consumption. The yarns are then spun in the southwest part of China, bordering Tibet. This mill complies with the following standards: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification (ICEA) FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) ISO 9001
This garment was produced at a family-owned Italian factory. It was initially founded in 1957 as a traditional tailor shop, transitioning to become a factory in 1985. Today it is run by the founderÕs daughter and her husband.
